I am going to try my hand at dating again. Not drinking, at night, alone is really hard and I'm lonely and I think human touch would be therapeutic. I've also been having urges to hook up with people, and I don't want to do that because it isn't a healthy thing for me. I don't think I'll jump on the monogamy boat any time soon though. It just doesn't seem like a good idea at this time. I don't want to fall into another relationship too quickly and then have my heart broken, so I think I'll keep my heart out of things for the most part. I want pain and frustration free companionship... that's probably asking too much.
They always say in recovery groups, at least in the 12 Step model, that people trying to recover from addiction shouldn't get into relationships... but if it's more support, and if I am careful with my feelings, why would it be bad? I need all the support I can get. And I have needs, you know...
If it ends up being a bad idea, I'll end the experiment. And I'll be oh so honest with anybody I get involved with.
