I see the "how long should I wait to start dating, 6 months, 1 year" question alot. Some people seem to think that the 1 year is a countdown timer. You're not in time out from dating. The 1 year is supposed to make sure you've had enough time to work on yourself and any problems you have with relationships. I've known plenty of people who hit a year, did no personal growth, and were immediatley becoming codependent within a week of a new relationship. You have to work towards a healthy relationship just like your sobriety.
