I think there's this- and maybe it's only in my head, but kind of this age-old debate of do we date in the program or do we date out of it? When it comes to dating outside of recovery, I'm thinking about all my friends and I look at them because I go. Do I know anybody who's dating somebody who doesn't use at all that nobody uses.
Ever wondered if dating someone who's also in recovery is a good idea? In this episode of 'Recovery (Sort Of)', Billy and Jason dive deep into this tricky topic with their guest, Stacey. Relationships are tough enough, but throw in the challenges of recovery, and it can feel like walking a tightrope. Stacey shares her own journey, highlighting the highs and lows of dating while staying sober.
They discuss the potential risks, like what happens if your partner relapses, and the impact it can have on your own sobriety. But it’s not all doom and gloom. The conversation also covers the benefits of dating someone who truly understands your struggles and the importance of self-love and acceptance in making healthier relationship choices. Whether you're single, dating, or just curious about how relationships work in recovery, this episode offers a wealth of insights.
It's an honest, heartfelt discussion that doesn't shy away from the tough questions but also provides hope and practical advice for navigating love and sobriety.
