Akrasia, no finger wagging here, but I haven't been there. I do
understand the family disease of alcoholism, how it affects
all, and what alcoholics like/need to do for their addiction.
Like other posters have said, getting right into another
relationship is a way to not look at our own issues (you
mentioned shame- this is a big issue) and it makes everything
harder and more complicated. Better to take the time to be
comfortable on your own and really get to know yourself before
getting involved with someone. I can't speak from experience,
just reading here from the wisdom others have shared
