Is it okay to be dating a recovering alcoholic? Generally speaking, yes. Whats most important is that the person is secure in their sobriety. If you feel that they are, be sure to take things slow, keep a healthy perspective on what the relationship may entail and be cautious with opening your heart too quickly.

What happens if you give up alcohol for a year?
