If a person brags they have 120 days of sobriety.
Isnt this not good for their own sobriety bragging about it Isnt that having an ego? And this person is married and unhappy with her spouse and is asking orther single men in AA to go to a movies or lunch with them.And they only have 4 months sobriety.Do you think thats a good idea for some one new in the program thats married?

The person bragging is just really excited that she accomplished something but I think bragging is a little too much because it doesnt matter if your 2 hours clean or 10 years clean, there is always a possibility of relapse!!! If you are married you should never be asking someone to lunch or the movies for the purpose of a date.

I do think it's good for them to talk about how many days they have sober. It is something to be proud of not ashamed of. I don't think it's bragging at all. Most people are ashamed of the fact that they let themselves get that deeply involved in drugs or alcohol. I think you should be more supportive of your friend and tell her how great it is that she has made it this far. Every day is a challenge so every day sober is something to be excited about. It is also important for them to have friends who are going through the steps as well and they all have a sponsor in the group. I think you should do a little research on the subject before putting this person down for being proud of being sober. Ego has nothing to do with this.

I couldn't quite understand you question but i think i got the jist. Well I certainly don't think it is a good idea for someone who is married to be asking other people on what seems to be dates. But I two people have just recently gotten sober i think this could be more of lets stay sober get-togethers. I would tell this person if they are having problems in their marriage what they are doing is sure not to help.

Why would someone who is proud of their newfound sobriety bother you with their boasts? Surely you aren't suggesting that bragging will contribute to relapse. If they aren't happy in their marriage, there is nothing wrong with asking newfound sober friends to hang out. It's called support. Who gives better support than those who are in the same situation? Geez, lighten up.
