Dated an alcoholic and drained me of everything. I would be worried someone would fall off the wagon and put me through hell again

Short answer.... hell no!
I work in substance abuse. I know a lot of great people in recovery, but it is highly unlikely I would get in a relationship with someone. Even if they have significant sobriety those behaviors take even more time to change. |

In treatment, we steer clients to wait as long as possible to get into a relationship... at least 1 year clean time.

Even if they have significant sobriety those behaviors take even more time to change. What behaviours.? Do you mean mindsets? Thank you for replying. |

There's no such thing as an EX alcoholic or addict. I'm an alcoholic, and will be for life. I quit drinking when I was 26. Not drinking, is an everyday choice. Exactly... I did hard drugs in my early twenties I was an addict. Once an addict always an addict. I am just a clean one and have been for over 30 years. Me personally there are too many factors in this equations. I try very hard not to make hard and fast rules. Since there is always an exception. They would have to be clean everything else case by case |

Having done the relationship thing with an active alcoholic, all I gots to say, is that it was a trip to Hell in a
bucket, that i never want to repeat. Clean/recovering? Yeah, I might give a chance to. |

I wish nothing but the best and love for those in recovery. But after pure hell guess I'm gun shy

That being said, I'm going to quote something, from one of the finest human beings I've ever been lucky enough to call my friend. He was an old timer. He had gotten sober back when Jesus was still in diapers. "Alcoholics aren't bad people. We're just f'ing nuts". |

I wish I had enough confidence to get into something with a non drinking alcoholic or ex drug addict but I just don't have the confidence with people who in general have "addictive" personalities.
I would pass. I will say it could be situational. If that man was long term recovered and a health and fitness guy I might give him consideration. I just hate drama and too many people with addictive personalities seem to have drama follow them around like a black cloud.I don't do drama. |

I would get into a relationship with a heroine using prostitute,
if she had gotten clean, sober, and had turned her life around 360�. Because I can pretty much guarantee, she would have learned more life lessons than most people. |

I so agree... with this What one does when they are young should have no bearing on one as they get older if they learn from their mistakes. I know for a fact I would never use again. Have I been tempted absolutely knowing the hell I went through getting clean..keeps me clean |

It also depends how much you love him and how hot he is.

There's no such thing. Once an addict, always an addict.
