I have a friend in his late 30s who is a recovering alcoholic. He spent a large portion of his 20s overcoming his addiction. While he never doubted his ability to be a great partner, he did worry what his dates would think when he mentioned why he no longer drinks. After a few tough rejections, he began to worry that his past made him “undatable.” [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] Over time, however, he found a way to tell his story.
