Love and Sobriety: Balancing Relationships in Recovery
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.
