I didn't know what it was like to have a solid friendship with someone before having a relationship.
I can tell you that at a year clean/sober, I had no business being in a relationship.
I was still a babe in diapers when it came to the world of recovery.

hey, nota,
welcome to sober recovery.
if you read through some of the posts here, you might hear some people talking about being in some pretty "intense" relationships. there is a dynamic at play with everyone who falls for someone, and unfortunately, it's not always in a good way. many of us have learned to recognize strong, almost-instant, attraction as a warning sign.
i would suggest visiting this site, attending an open aa meeting or two, and also a couple of al-anon meetings. there are scores of people who would like to help lead you to a discovery that can change your life.
would you like to share a little of your background? do you have history of being involved with an addict?
