Off my chest

I'm almost 4 years sober. I haven't dated at all and have just been focusing on self-care/love. I've been in the same work environment for the past 3 years, and recently have been catching some feelings for a coworker who I've worked with the whole time. I know its a no-go, and I dont want to change our dynamic at work. I think I'm just lonely and may be searching for connection, but I feel conflicted internally. I don’t want to drink, so that's not really a concern but I also don’t want to do something stupid. I feel like I'm in a weird place, any advice would be welcome.

Honestly I get it ...have u put pen to paper meaning sometimes our minds can be conflicting so to speak sometimes when we know what is right and we know what we want sometimes our mind and our bodies wanting to do two different things and this is where the pen to paper kind of can help it can sort out your pros and cons it can also sort out your feelings and just get them out honestly not just my own opinion I would never date a co-worker or even remotely open that door for various reasons my suggestion would be start finding friendships within recovery outside of work that'll give you your connection with people because us as humans were very communal creatures and we feed off of connections so I would start making connections and recovery groups in ur area. I hope this helps congratulations on ur 4 years that's big :slightly_smiling_face:
