I think the fact that you are having these thoughts is very healthy and says something all by itself. It seems like the right partner would be willing to understand you and the changes you’re going through. And definitely be willing to meet you at least half way. I think this is one of the most difficult dilemmas of discovering sobriety. Personally there is absolutely nothing I wouldn’t do for the right person. But if there’s one thing I’ve learned in my sobriety it’s that finding that right person is so very difficult. My thoughts and prayers will be with you!!

I've decided recently I don't want to date people that drink or do recreational drugs. I don't want to be around it and I don't want to be tempted. My kids and my future need me. It's not worth the risk. I want someone who's goals and lifestyle is aligned with mine and that means sobriety and healthy changes!

For me I don’t mind if someone wants the occasional drink but dating a drunk/drug addict no way. I’ve got 6+ years of sobriety so I have a good idea of what I can/can’t be around. If you’re newly sober and they care about you they should be considerate enough to not drink around you. Only my opinion.
