Your person could be right around the corner and you'd never know it.

One thing I needed to learn was to wonder whether I like them, not wonder if they like me. Have you written down all your qualities that make you a great catch? Start with 20 :blush: if 20 is too many, then do 30 :face_with_hand_over_mouth::heart:

Disease doesn’t define you as a person, who you are does. Everyone has the capacity to be loved, hardest part for us addicts is sometimes are ego doesn’t want to let anyone in. Best of luck🍀

Believe me there is somebody for
everybody out there somewhere. When you find each other and it's right, you will accept each other with all of each others faults and it will be great. I am difficult person and I know all my faults and weaknesses, I have 3 auto immune diseases that make me even more of a pain to get to know and appreciate. But I found a great life partner who accepts me, my health issues, my OCD and ADHD and he supports me in my sober/health journey. Fortunately for me he is not really a drinker. So, its been a very easy task my first 9 days as there is no booze in the house. We are not go out and party or dance people so Im really around no temptation. I also have had no cravings at all. I really think it's because I was really ready to stop abusing myself. I put together my tool kit, I have "This Naked Mind", "The Alcohol Experiment" and the "Unexpected Joy of Being Sober". These are like my health bibles and I read all the passages daily that remind me why drinking will never be the "right" answer for me. You will find your person when the time is right and you will be ready to accept all the joy.
