You just lost the best lover you ever had. Don't rush into a relationship to fill the void. Let someone approach you and even then be hesitant. Be strong, and avoid "Euphoric Recall", that is, remebering how good it felt when you were using. You have to force yourself to focus on something else. Good luck...Stay Strong. Most 12 step programs advocate not becomming involved in a relationship for at least the first year of recovery. You need to become comfortable with yourself before you can be comfortable with someone else. As recovering adicts (alcoholics fall into the same catagory- even though some don't think so) we have a hard time dealing with reality, which is why we seek chemical release. Until you can be comfortable facing reality without any chemical crutch, you won't be able to have a successful relationship. This process usually takes at least a year... some take much longer. Good luck in your recovery. (P.S. I'm not just citing some psycho-babble- I've been sober for 24 years)

How do you tell your friends and family that you are dating a recovering drug addict if you have accepted this person into your life and all is going well?
My suggestion would be to not tell your friends and family members about this recovering drug addict until he fully recovers. Your friends and family would be more accepting and understanding if the person you were dating is now in good shape and is not still in need of professional help. It's a bad idea to tell you family and friends , " the guy I'm dating has problems and hes' a recovering drug addict ". It's just a turn off. But try to be careful around these people. Just because a person is recovering it doesn't mean they're cured of their problems.

well it depends on who the person is.
