Dan and Lisa Klco, Clinical Directors at Nomina center for addiction and mental health are here to talk to us about relationships in early recovery. They explain the reasons why dating in recovery for the first year is not suggested, along with some sober dating advice for when you are ready. Relationships are complicated and relationships in recovery can be even more complicated. As registered sex therapists and relationship counsellors, they are some great advice on dating while in recovery!
