So we finally met for coffee. I went in with the idea of just being good neighbours and not being overly worried about impressing her in a relationship sense but we seem spookily compatible.

Like in the course of conversation I threw it out there that I am a recovering alcoholic/addict - turns out she is a 7 years sober alcoholic. We are both single, both turning 50 this year, both fitness conscious, both more keep-to-ourselves types than social butterflies. We had a good talk about some movies and musicals - she is very knowledgable. Both cat lovers. Both have an interest in writing.


I feel sure we will continue to get to know each other better.

This is good news Mudcat. What's the difference between a recovering alcoholic and a sober alcoholic? :clueless:
 
Short answer: no difference.

There are certain semantical debates that come up in the recovery community. A big one is should people be called recovering or recovered addicts? There is supportable philosophy for either position. Personally I have heard it all and have grown uninterested in the discussion. I call myself recovering but I support whatever anyone wants to call themself - or me. Now kindly get out of earshot for any further debate.

But as far as my haphazard chosen words above, recovering vs sober, I did not mean to suggest any distinction.

Please forgive my ignorance. I wasn't born in an English speaking country. I was trying to find out if there is a difference. I wasn't trying to debate you.

I'm so proud of you that you have conquered your demons.

No I didn't take it as you debating me at all. I welcome all questions from you or anyone on the topic and thank you for the inquiry and the follow-up kind words.

No, I was just expressing some of my eye-rolling reaction to semantical debates I have seen, not you.
 
Muddy and Senco. Congrats on finding "love" interests to the both of you. You have both experienced heart ache, and were able to move on. I hope you have been blessed with finally finding the right one, I mean it doesn't get any better then finding that one person that completes you and compliments you. I look forward to sharing many happy stories with you. I wish you the best and don't fuck it up and kncock on wood and you should walk under a later but don't let a black cat cross your path and open an umbrella inside, and whatever else I can think of that will wish you well but also not "j" word you. lol. Much love boyz. HAVE FUN!!!

The increase of knowledge has forced
the thinker to specialise, with the result that there is nobody capable to deal with civilization as a whole. We are playing a game of chess in which nobody can see more than two or three squares at once, and so it has become impossible to form a coherent plan.

We must conquer life by living it to the full, and then we can go to meet death with a certain prestige.

I hardly ever talk- words seem such a waste, and they are none of them true. No one has yet invented a language from my point of view.
