Today Dr. Frankie discusses dating in early sobriety can feel challenging due to emotional intensity and logistical concerns, like meeting people in environments centered around drinking. Dr. Frankie finds it important to avoid dating within sober support groups like AA to prevent emotional complications and potential relapse. Instead, she suggests dating apps as a great option, allowing one to disclose their sobriety upfront and connect with others who are supportive of your lifestyle. Over time, as your life is filled with new hobbies, friendships, and activities, you’ll likely naturally meet people who share your values and interests, making dating in recovery more fulfilling and sustainable.
