As the only "clean and sober dating" book on the market, Easy Does It Dating Guide offers a frank yet lighthearted view of what "normal" dating looks like. Sometimes humorous, always honest, this guide addresses unique relationship/dating issues that people in recovery from addiction often experience, including how much information to share about their past, whether they should date other addicts in recovery, and what to do if they are attracted to a problem drinker or drug user. Plus readers will find great information about how to determine when they are ready to date, what commitment and intimacy really mean, and what to expect when children, divorce, or a history of sexual abuse are part of the dating picture.

Summary: This book could save your life
Comment: If you willing to be rigorously honest with yourself this book can help you recognize where you are going wrong or right in relationships. It helped me recognize that what I was feeling was ok and I was right to set boundaries and stick to them. Most of us couldn't recognize a "normal" relationship if it smacked us across the face, relearning how to function as a sober person is difficult, this book helped me immensely.

Summary: A powerful and effective tool for getting over relationship
Comment: Mary Faulkner is a therapist working with people in recovery from addictions and abuse. Owner and director of the Institute of Integrated Healing Arts in Nashville, Tennessee and founding editor of "Recovering Magazine", she draws upon her many years of experience and expertise in Easy Does It Dating Guide to guide the reader through the "traps, triggers, and traumas" of recovering from romantic involvements -- especially the ones that end badly because of alcoholism or addiction. Readers will learn how to know when they are once again ready to start dating; whether it is wise to date other alcoholics and/or addicts in recovery; what happens if they are attracted to a problem drinker or drug users; how much information should be shared about their past; and what's realistic to expect (or not expect) from relationships. The Easy Does It Dating Guide is a powerful and effective tool for getting over relationship fears, getting past roadblocks to intimacy; dealing with false romantic fantasies, and more. If you are in recovery (or dating someone who is), then give Mary Faulkner's Easy Does It Dating Guide a careful reading from cover to cover.
