There are a lot of manipulation in men and women both praying on early sobriety. Until a solid foundation of sobriety is seen and recognized by yourself relationships romantically are scary and down right disrespectful for some of the people reaching out for help and people in the rooms seen a horrible opening in someone’s lapse of decency and lapse of judgements is gross.

what’s 13th stepping ??
It’s when someone in the program takes advantage of a newcomer to get laid. It’s a complete violation of trust and predatory. Unfortunately it does happen.

Yep. It can be hard in early sobriety, we tend to not trust others but it's important from a female perspective to get in the middle of a group of good women. Open up and talk to them and let them love you until you can love yourself.
