Hey there. I found that just going out in public and doing practically anything helped me feel better about myself and my relationships with other people. Talking to people in person, in text messages, online...just being more social in general made me feel more worthwhile.
I wish I could speak from experience of successful dating, but I still feel like I'm a disaster just waiting to wreak havoc on any woman's life I would get involved with. The word "alcoholic" sends most potential partners running for the hills, and with good reason too. I always wonder whether it's better to tell them up about my past up front and have them walk out right there, or keep it a secret until later and have the relationship implode then. Hopefully, though, the more sober time you get, the better the chances are of people overlooking this.
