I got dumped last year and I found it a bit tough. Since then I’ve been working on getting sober for long enough to really be able to work on myself, with a view to decide whether I want to stay sober or whether I want to go back to it.

I don’t really want to risk anything during this time. I miss dating a lot, I love being with somebody and getting to know someone who means a lot to me, but I just don’t think I’d be great to date right now and I am struggling to trust people easily since the breakup anyhow.

I’ll get there, though. And when I’m ready, I hope I’ll have more to offer than I’ve ever had before!
