Between Two Addicts: Navigating Love, Loss, and Sobriety
I think the key point is, if you were going to start a relationship in the first year, that you are speaking about it with your sponsors, both of the people, I mean they're both in recovery, talking to their sponsors. Maybe it's not on purpose, but we never knew any better.
