Some very harsh answers here in my opinion. a recovering alcoholic can make a full recovery and hit the pub club scene again and not touch a drop! Everyone deserves a chance with an addiction

Hats off to anyone that beats the addiction and I mean that sincerely but I wouldn't think they should go back into the environment where others are using.

I might have been reluctant to moving fast, but if I liked him enough, I'd probably convince myself this time he'd be all different.


And one month later I'd hate all men and join a convent.

Have to agree with Maddog here. Cheaters are immoral low lifes who choose to cheat addicts don't choose to become addicts roll eyes Bad comparison Uno

Theoneucanthate: well I doubt any women would date him but u can bet ur bottom dollar a lot wouldn't take heed of warning to a cheater. Lots a women would say " he"ll change for me"

Now, dating a recovering alcoholic is somewhere in the middle of that. ;)

BTW, bunch of alco's in my family.. most were not close enough to do me any harm, thankfully, and more than a few ex's had problems with drink and other substances, so I'm kind of biased.

On the last point: So very true. Plenty of women try to change the leopard's spots. laugh

they drink more and more and eventually become addicted! More and more as in days! Lots of people argued with me one night that druggies have only themselves to blame when become addicts, wud u agree? There is some men out there compulsive cheaters, again it's an addiction of another kind

Theoneucanthate: I have a family member who couldn't stop cheating on his ex wife. he even went and got help. He confessed at the meetings that he was addicted to the thrill and buzz of cheating!
Same applies to the addiction of alcohol and drugs! Words buzz and thrill come to fruition

You're right there. Addictions like gambling and gossiping prove that addiction is more about behaviour patterns.
