I fell for an alcoholic
She was early in her sobriety, we were taking things slow.. I know the rules are not to date anyone within the first year of sobriety, but our connection was too good to let go.. Slowly she started to part ways from going to AA and started changing little by little. She relapsed just a few days ago. I didn't know what to do, I just offered support and let her know she still did well. Well, I ended things with her for other reasons and partially due to the relapse.. I started to see a dishonest pattern. I just felt like venting, I'm hurt. I really hope she chooses the path of sobriety and that she does well in life.. I want to be a part of her life, but I can't with these emotions. Also, it's just best this way.. She can fully focus on herself, I hope that's what she's going to do. I never really understood what being around an alcoholic was like, that's why I was so accepting of her.. She was not an active alcoholic, but now I'm not sure if that's going to be the case. I hope her higher power leads her back on the path she was taking. :/
