Early in recovery it is suggested that we take atleast the first year to focus on rebuilding ourselves, our lives, new sober/clean friends, support network, sponsor, work the steps so that we can truly learn to love and respect ourselves. If we cannot truly love and respect ourselves, then we cannot return that love and respect in a relationship. Nor can that love and respect be reciprocated to us if the person we are with cannot love and respect themselves.
I have a friend who did exactly what you're doing right now a few years ago and she ended up in a relationship full of domestic violence. Now her BF is in jail. She was already on probation and due to the failure of the relationship she relapsed and is now in jail for a vop. These rehab romances are a horrible idea imo. Sorry for being so honest and frank. I do mean all this with sincerity. Both of you need to work on yourselves. I was once told to get me a plant. To take care of that plant for a year. If that plant doesn't die after a year, then I might be ready for a relationship.

The reason it’s suggested no relationship for a year is not to make us lonely. When we first get in our relationship it’s Euphoria same thing we were looking for when using. Stay away from the big handful of f it
