Good morning. Even though I have new sober people I talk to. (AA meetings). It doesn't replace that one special person to share my day with. I miss talking to a female. I guess it's just not time yet in my newfound sobriety! 68 days.

You can't talk to women at meetings?
Seriously, it's recommended that we don't seek out intimate relationships, nudge-nudge, until we've got some seriously productive sober time behind us. I know I'm not ready because at this time I don't think I could deal with the extreme emotional tides of a serious relationship.

Hi David, 68 days is great. After a year of sobriety my kids mom left me we were together 18 years. It was hard, I leaned on my sober support and long time friends support and family. After a fog lifted and things in my life and mind started to change for the better. I realized after time that missed the relationship more then her. I have close relationships a few people male and female that help fill most of those gaps. A special person does not have to be someone that you are in a romantic relationship. In time you develop relationships that you only thought were possible. In a little over a month it will be a year since the separation and the divorce can be finalized. I am petrified because I thought it wouldn’t happen to us. I met one of my current best friends on this app. We are 1400 miles apart but closer then ever. There are definitely things I desire from a romantic relationship but I don’t know if I am ready. Well, that is my experience. Keep your head held high and put one foot in front of the other and before you know it you’ll be in a much better place.
