I think the boring thing is a fear most people have Miko but it's rarely the case. I do know for myself though that I really don't think I could date someone who drank this early in recovery...I don't think trying to quit whilst seeing someone that you were seeing while you were both drinking is gonna work..if that makes sense? I had to detach myself from someone for that very reason. Put your recovery first x

I think most people have a fear of stopping drinking because we have come to depend on alcohol to get us through life.

I`m glad you have decided to live a sober life.

No one could ever have been more boring than I was when I was drinking. Give it a try sober, and you will see a big big difference.

The date will probably find you more attractive sober.

welcome back Miko

Sober me is the real unvarnished me - I don't think I'm boring.

Boring was falling over, picking fights, getting thrown out of bars, being sick, wetting myself, having my gf carry me home...

If someone found sober you - the real you - boring, why would want to be around them?

I know it's a bit of a leap of faith cos you don;t know the outcome - but there's loads of us here love our lives and our selves sober

why not give it a chance Miko?

It's never a good idea to drink alcohol on the first few dates even if you don't have a drinking problem. The reason for this is that your not your true self when alcohol is in your system and getting loose up with alcohol is never a good reason to drink anyway.

If she finds the drunk version of you more entertaining then you're best off without her.
