[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would not if I was looking to have kids. The early years with kids are so hard on a marriage as it is without a layer of addiction added to it. If I were older and not expecting anymore kids, I would consider it. [/quote]

Just know that a lot of people who don't state upfront that they're addicts in recovery are unrecovered addicts, and that stressful life situations tend to reveal those issues. There's no guarantee that you're not dating an alcoholic just because they didn't come out and say it straight.[/quote]

There is some truth to this. A dear friend just went through years of h*ll at the hands of a partner who did not disclose his past alcoholism and then brutally relapsed. Of course he believed he was too good for AA and even to this day that he has finally gone to rehab he denies that alcohol is the main problem.

Much different story to get involved with someone who is up front about it an has a clear plan to support sobriety. [/quote]
