I admire and respect that...

In admire and respect that attitude in anyone, well done...an example of which is, for me anyway, the musician Eric Clapton. Not for his musical ability, great though it is. Not for being a recovering alcoholic or for being a founder of the Crossroads Institute but in the few times I've seen him, usually in documentaries it's quite apparent that anyone or anything he perceives as prejudicing his, of likely to prejudice his serenity he dismisses out of hand.

I also take the view no serenity, no me. I'm not going to risk everything I've gone through either side of my drinking history for someone or something that runs the risk of throwing it all away especially as, in sobriety there's every chance something better will come along!
