The most important thing to this is building a relationship with god, building a relationship with yourself and not drinking, because the only way you can see the patterns in sobriety is by staying sober, and almost every relationship in your life is with another human being, and those teach you a lot.
Ever wondered if dating in early recovery is a good idea? In this episode of THEUDRCAST, Bill Ward is joined by Janine H and Jesse P to tackle this tricky topic. They dive into the complexities of starting new relationships while navigating the early stages of sobriety. Bill emphasizes the importance of first building a solid relationship with oneself and a higher power before diving into romantic pursuits.
He warns that jumping into dating too soon can distract from the essential spiritual growth needed to maintain sobriety. Jesse shares his personal experience of juggling recovery and a relationship, revealing how it became overwhelming and hindered his progress. Janine brings up the question of what 'early recovery' actually means, sparking a discussion on the different phases of recovery and the dangers of acting on self-will too soon.
The trio concludes that staying sober and focusing on spiritual growth should be the top priorities in early recovery, with romantic relationships taking a back seat. Tune in to hear their insights and learn how to balance personal development with the desire for connection.
