If single, have you embraced this time in your life to grow?

The author of the article “The Availability to Dive”  brings to light how beneficial it can be to live single while recovering. While it can also be challenging, the single life can give us the time needed to learn how to live without our drug and relate to others. This prepares those who plan to sober date at some point. 

Have you surrendered the expectation to date after only a few months of sobriety? Have you sought experience, strength, and hope from members who live a single and sober life? Do you need to surrender the idea that you need a relationship to be whole? Have you considered working the Steps on this topic? Will you use this article for a discussion topic at your home group?
