" Sounds kinda fishy to me. I say you better be careful and remember that you have to come first. Don't take any uneccessary risks at this point. You should be proud of yourself and what you have accomplished. Don't let anybody bring you down from that. "

" Keep your focus on your recovery.If he's serious about his recovery,time will sort it out.Sounds to me like he may be in need of a hostage,not a relationship.I know what my brain was like after I got out of treatment,if he's like that,he doesn't yet know what he wants.It would probably be good for you to sit this one out.
