Is this an utter waste of my time since I still enjoy having a cocktail or 12 and now he cannot drink and hanging out with me may cause him to relapse? Has anyone ever dated or even have anecdotal information about dating a recovering fill-in-the-blank?
I usually date the raging addicts so this is totally new for me!

I had a roommate in college whose sister met her first or second husband in rehab (aka spin dry). I think it worked for them because they were both fighting the same demons. I seem to recall that she fell off the wagon a couple of times (after the divorce) but she said she couldn't have been clean and sober so long without having his support. Our drinking in front of them seemed not to phase them as a couple, but individually it was tough for her to be around people indulging in whatever.
