I live alone, which certainly is not helping things. There is one woman in the AA group who I have my eye on. I know that sounds ridiculous but we have talked a lot and I know she is interested in me too. We both know what the life is like. Alkies know each other in a way that non-alkies can't (lucky them). One of the guys in my group said at a meeting that he tells us things he has never told his wife. It's like a secret society. She has been sober for 4 years. Obviously I have to sober up to have any chance with her. Her name is Jane.
