Re: [thejellyfish] new member

I would leave her alone and let her get clean and figure herself out. I think dating newcomers can really deprive them of a genuine chance at sobriety. I know it happens but you just have to be careful and allow them all of the space they need. I see people do it at my home group and it kind of pisses me off, this one guy in particular. He is known for doing this kind of thing and to me it just shows a lack of growth on his part and care for the other people involved.
 
So if your friend says that a relationship might be too much right now you should respect that anf give them the space they need to get themselves in order. I am no relationship expert or dating expert but that is just my take on it.
 
Take care.

at concerts this summer  perhaps regionally or even if I would have to
travel a bit if anyone knows how i do it let me know. In the mean-time
is there any advice u could give me about dating a recovering heroin
addict. I never shot up and i have a hard time being understanding of
her cravings and mind-set. she seems to have a much tougher time with
sobriety than I do, but has managed 8 months without dope and a month
w/o drinking.
