A straightforward, yet lighthearted, look at what it takes to enter or reenter the world of dating—clean and sober style.

These are important questions in any dating relationship, but even more critical for individuals who are in recovery. This Step-friendly, one-of-a-kind dating guide offers frank yet lighthearted advice about avoiding the traps, triggers, and trauma of romance in recovery.
