Watch out for men that are not nice

I thought I met someone that cared about my sobriety and he just decided to not be. Please be careful of men that say they love you and then backtrack. I’m not some port they can stop at and will never be anyone they can stop by on their way to the Philippines to their buy a bride. Please be careful.

I think when they’re getting close to their 70s they just get loopy

I’m sorry for whatever happened. The important thing is keeping your recovery intact.
Lean on your friends here.

I'm sorry this happened to you.

Can't be too careful these days.

I'm sorry for what happened to you, KC, but it's good that you moved on before things got worse.

Just don't be looking for a man. At that age many old people are just looking to be rescued or (worse) taken care of. Go out dancing and go home alone. My best advice.

I am completely focused on not drinking, men who take advantage of that can just f off.
