If it helps Press the way it was explained to me was anything I put in front of my recovery, I'm likely to lose anyway.
The other thing is - I wouldn't have been very good partner material at the start - I had a LOT of issues to work through.
I wanted someone right away too - but the reality was I had a lot of very short and very dysfunctional relationships behind me.
I didn't want to add to that total.
A little later down the track with continued sobriety and a little work on myself, I was much more 'together' and much more capable of being able to participate fully in a loving healthy relationship - same one, over a decade on still going strong.
15 days is just over 2 weeks Press - no one can mend themselves in 2 weeks - try to be patient
