Relationships. Help. Any advice ?
I'll assume your talking about dating. They don't recommend it until 1 yr sober. After that I would say be careful. Most people don't understand. If they are drinking it can be impossible.
Pick and choose carefully. Above all never lie and you have to take care of you because you will pay the price. Best of luck

Kind of a loaded question. What about them? Romantic, existing, familia? All of them present a different aspect and and approach when we get sober. More info is needed my man

Relationships during sobriety, in my experience, work best when both parties are healthy and working on their own life. That goes for romantic relationships, family relationships, friendships, etc.

I haven’t had a relationship since 2012. I don’t think women like me very much.

They can be very difficult. A relationship with one person has 3 parts to work on simultaneously. In my case I have to work on myself. My wife has to work on herself. The both of us have to work on us. It’s a lot of work. If one of these three areas breaks down, the whole cookie crumbles.

Romantic.. pre existing to sobriety and she is pretty much untreated alcoholism
Well that’s a tough one. The thing is you can only control you and your actions. If she doesn’t want to get sober, you can not force, beg, push, or bribe her to do what she doesn’t want to. I am not going to lie, it is going to make your relationship hard and if you truly want to stay sober, you have to be ready to walk away. Lee said it a few posts up, it is 3 parts you, her, and together.
