I''m a recovering alcoholic and and have no social life anymore. I don't think I will ever get over my ex-girlfriend unless I start dating someone else.
I've been going to meetings for 3 years but I have still yet to find a single close friend. Lots of people know my name, but I've never been invited to a party or asked out for coffee.
I've tried MATCH.COM and another site, but I always get the same answer, sometimes immediately. Either women:
1. Just don't want to date anyone that's a recovering addict/alcoholic.
2. Don't want to date anyone that doesn't drink.
I was just hoping someone could tell me why?
I'm 45, single, live alone and a pretty nice guy. Women in recovery generally don't date men in recovery. I don't think i'll ever find a wife.
It's been a few years now, and I find myself so lonely that I think of suicide alot.
My question is, since I can't seem to meet anyone by telling the truth, should I just lie about my alcoholism?
