Relationships

I try my best not to have a huge opinion on this topic. It is a complicated issue. I like to simplify it when talking about it to people. My simple advice is... TAKE YOUR TIME.

The problem most people have, is that they rush in to relationships. When first coming into recovery, our minds and bodies are going through tremendous stress. For obvious reasons, newly recovering addicts tend to jump into relationships for the simple fact that they are still trying to fill a void. Although, this does temporarily ease the pain, in my experience, it always ends in chaos. 

Simply put, I don't take a stand either way. I don't believe its right or wrong to be in (or not be in) a relationship when first coming into recovery. I just say that through my own experience, you will be doing your self a favor by avoiding it all together. It wont last forever, you will give yourself time to heal, so that when you find a relationship you may want to enter, you will be physically and mentally ready for it.
