Alcohol is a hugely important topic in dating that not a lot of people talk about. Many people use alcohol to ease anxiety in dating. And alcohol has a deep impact on romantic and family relationships. The man I thought I was going to marry 4 years ago was an alcoholic and it ruined our relationship, so this triggers me deeply. My second date with the guy I just met turned out to be a disappointment as my date consumed more and more alcohol, started trying to find cocaine and ultimately chose to party with his friends instead of sticking to our plan to spend some quiet Christmas Eve time together. I'm not a stranger to dating an alcoholic, so I'm sharing my thoughts in this episode on how this impacted me, how I'm processing it and what I want to do moving forward.
