Does anyone have luck rekindling a relationship after recovery. I really love and miss her

All things are possible in recovery but the first step is getting and staying sober

Sometimes relationships can't handle addiction. Sometimes relationships can't handle sobriety. Either way, relationships take work.

Welcome to SR, Wantsanewlife. Good to have you here. I think it depends. Was drinking what drove here away? If so it depends on how much damage you did to the relationship. She may give you another chance if she sees that you're sincerely quitting. Or maybe you've ruined any last shred of trust and she's moved on. It depends on the situation.

But in any event, every change you want to make in your life depends on staying sober.

My girlfriend of 5 years dumped me and told me it was through. After a month of not just professing good intentions but more importantly showing them she reluctantly took me back. We have been doing fairly well ever since. I know being engaged is a little more serious, but the hurt you cause can go away - just don't screw up a second time. If she still cares for you at all, then there is hope. Patience and a long-term demonstration of your committment to getting better are critical if you want any chance.
