Living soberly and taking sober risks is sometimes the hardest thing to do when it comes to intimacy and matters of the heart. Sex, no problem. Love may equal pain and rejection or it may be the greatest gift ever. We are told to not rush into relationships in early sobriety and we are told that getting into relationships in early sobriety is like putting miracle grow on our character defects. After being sober for a few year now, I am learning that practicing the language of the heart does not mean that I can speak wisely about love, but that I can speak more honestly about my own experience with love. I can be more authentic about what I feel and what I want...without manipulation or lies.
