Oh it’s so magical! You get to embark on this journey of really getting to know someone and getting to know yourself. You get to find out what really matters to you in a partner. It’s tough too though because you’ll start to experience so many feelings sober - so many! Heartbreak and falling in Love sober are by far some of the toughest thing to deal with in sobriety. You’ve got this! Start wherever comes natural to you. I’m so excited for you to embark on this journey!!!!

I learned so much about myself after I stopped drinking. I feel like a completely different person. Just abandon old patterns and be open to adopting new (healthy) ones.

Also—most of us alcoholics have a lot of emotional baggage and unhealthy relationship behaviors, so as best as you can, try to avoid bringing that stuff into your relationship, or when you inevitably do, try to recognize it as such and discard it.

Haven’t done the dating thing in a while so need advice! (F here) Met a guy at a party on Sat, followed each other on insta, then I dm’ed him my number saying “lmk if you want to get drinks sometime”. He then texts me and says something along the lines of “yeah let’s do it” but doesn’t offer any concrete plan. Does this mean he’s not super into it? Or am I overreacting and I should initiate the plan? I initiated the insta follow and the dm so I feel like it’s his turn…?

I’ve slowly started drinking less and less. And the less I’m drinking the more I realize just how much of my time revolved around alcohol. From going to get it, to drinking it to fighting hangovers. Now I realize I need something to fill all that time with. Especially now that I’m not spending all day saturday and sunday deathly hungover. I go for walks and run errands…but in a shock to me…there’s still a lot of time left. How did you start spending your time once you stopped drinking?
