Loving recovery

Recovery from alcoholism, addiction, co-dependency and gambling can bring new and unexpected ways to be in love and to express that love.

Recovering people may need to rekindle an existing relationship. Or, they may have started a new sexuality with new a partner.

This article provides some ideas as follows;

  • Embrace your past.
