Hi Jabari
I waited until I knew I would not drink no matter what, no matter what the temptation, no matter what rough patches the relationship might hit - because even the best relationships can have tough periods.
I waited until I knew I was not wanting to be with someone simply to make me feel better, or have them be almost like the human equivalent of a drink...
If you have that surety that you can stay sober no matter what, and you're not looking to have someone fix you, then you may be ready to date again...but if you're not sure...maybe you should wait a little while longer?
