Hey so, I'm an addict I'm recovery currently. Im 22 and for the first time in 2 years I'm actually really trying to stay sober and do all the right things. This has so far been working amazingly in my life as I'm now starting to date this beautiful girl and it's my first time dating someone in 4 years ever since a pretty bad breakup. Anyways my question is, how do I let her know I'm an addict? Should I let her know? I'm currently in a sober living home which means I have a curfew, can't really have guests over, etc. I could make up some lies about this but I really wouldn't feel comfortable doing that. This girl really really likes me , it seems, and I really like her too. When people meet me and get to know me they're usually very surprised to find out I'm an addict because it doesn't show in my character at all. I only say this to show you guys that me being an addict really doesn't mean I'm a shit person. I just made some shitty choices in the past and have been constantly working on bettering myself so that I can go back to a normal life. I don't want to lose the opportunity to be with this girl but I also don't want to build a foundation based on lies. Help?
