What do women think about dating an alcoholic who is in recovery?

I think it’s alright to date again for as long as you are sure of yourself. Just choose someone whose emotionally stable at least you won’t have to be blamed for whatever problems. You deserve to be happy.

They might want to ask to see your alcoholic center graduation certificate. Despite your strong foundation. If I were you I wouldn’t pop the cork on that bubbly just yet.

I have been and do not want to ever go there again. Congrats on being dry, its hard to do and I’m sure you’ve sacrificed a lot to get there.
My family is, well was, full of alcoholics. Everyone of them fell off the wagon more times than I can count. The abuse both physical and verbally isn’t worth any amount of love. Coming home and finding things missing because he needed money, or never knowing what I’d walk into when I got home.
I know some people do great their entire lives and I sincerely hope you will be one of those success stories. I’ve just lived with too many that weren’t.
Good luck!

You need someone emotionally strong, to help you, and who had never been any kind of addict so that you are not tempted again. Also, be honest and do not hide it from her. There are plenty of women who would date you, but take is very slow.

I wouldn’t mind. And I would support them. My husband is drinker and I would love for him to go to rehab. So I imagine if you have admitted you have a problem, gotten help, and stayed sober for a considerable amount of time, you’re a stable person and you’ve done something 3/4 of alcoholics can’t so applause. It’s not apart of your life anymore, so it’s not apart of you. Many women, like myself, don’t drink at all (the first and last time I ever drank alcohol was a glass of wine for a toast at my wedding 22 years ago) so with many women, it won’t be an issue you have to fight.

i wouldn’t date a man in any kind of recovery unless he recovered long time ago and never got back to what he was addicted to

Well, I’d take into consideration how long you’d been sober, what kind of program you’re working now. I’d look at the people you associated with, and how steady you are when it comes to responsibility.

In the past I’ve been burned by an addict, and I’ve known a lot of alcoholic men who were sober but still needed to work some issues out. But, I wouldn’t not date a man just because he was in recovery. In some ways a man who is working a good program would be preferable, as they would have tools to deal with life and a good support system, more than a Normie man would.

Just be a man of integrity and you’ll attract the right women. Good luck, and keep coming back!

As you know, recovery is a lifetime process. You do not state how long you have been sober. But, if you feel ready, go for it. Remember people, places and things and to be honest with yourself.
Congrats and Good Luck to you!!

Congrats on your recovery. I don’t find anything wrong with someone who’s recovering from alcoholism ready to take the next step as far as relationships go. As long as the other person you want to date understands you and likes you for you who really are on the inside. I’m not talking about the you that’s the alcoholic, but who you are deep inside.

The big no-no is that you should’nt date another person who’s in recovery..I’m sure that’s what you’ve been told. There are so many women out there that you can find an interest in. But this is what you need to do…be honest about yourself from the very beginning. If you find yourself wanting to drink don’t look to her for help…that’s what your sponsor is for.

I’m glad to know that you have the confidence that you can be you again…and I’m not meaning the alcoholic you. Doesn’t it feel great that you know who you are when you’re sober? I hope that you’ll continue on your road to recovery, and you’ll find someone who’s special to you. And I hope whoever you find will accept you for you really are. good luck.

As long as your foundation is strong…Its all good. Double check to make sure you are not fooling yourself, and input from others is always a plus.

I’ve had no problem with it. When I met my fiancee, I told her the first time we talked (she is not an alcoholic or anything close) It is best to be upfront.

Make sure you don’t turn your newfound friend in to a golden calf, and keep First Things First!

I would certainly date someone who has overcome an addiction, having done so myself. Such people can, under some circumstances, exhibit great courage and self-insight.

I would not, however, want to date someone who is in a 12 step program such as AA and considers himself to be in permanent “recovery”. While I understand the philosophy behind this, I think it forces people into a lifelong identification with old behaviors that are really no longer relevant.
