Don't date and drive

Trust me folks, don't date or get involved in early recovery. It will drive you nuts, enough for a love DUI.

I takes very little to get me off balance, specially the affairs of the heart.

I'm avoiding it at all costs right now and probably for at least the next year. Wishing you strength in keeping your balance.

I think that one year suggestion is pretty good.

Thanks everyone. I unfortunately cannot go into details without starting a religion debate. So I will just say thanks, and respect is the most important thing, religion or recovery method included.

When humans learn that their way is not the only way is when we will achieve a common goal.

Well, look at it this way... you had the courage. I second Brain: try to give yourself some space and don't sink into it deeper than you already are for a while, maybe?

Agreed. Plus I can keep my courage to fight this addiction.

When I first got sober I fell in love all over again.

With bacon.

We are living happily ever after.

Don't let it get you down.

Patman, your heart is hurting, but you are staying the course with your recovery. You are doing great!
