Swanson was released from the Mental Hospital... his condition is stable, as long as he cooperates with his doctor's orders to not go near any ponds from now on.

I have gathered that you have stopped drinking, that you suspect that you should remain sober and that you do not want to drink at all any more.If you are serious about stopping drinking there are things that you MUST do if you are serious about sobriety and want to be successful.I will say that if you knew her while you were drinking and you are planning to continue NOT drinking, then she could turn out to be a challenge to your sobriety.I know that you probably do not understand that statement, but one of the first things written between the lines of a twelve step program is that you must sever ties with your drinking friends, until you have enough support from family, sponsors, sober friends, etc, that old ties and habits can not cause you to consider giving up your progress.Is she one of your old, drinking girlfriends? If so, I see no need to say more.I'm pulling for you , buddy!Ask your sponsor.She does not drink so I don't have worry about that.I always drink alone Myself.So, it's back to what YOU think about Her.Do you Want to be with her. I know forcy women are seldom trustworthy, but she Knows you, Right? You have been together in the past, Right?Maybe her Pushy Behavior is her way of motivating into action an Aspie worth having.Make your OWN mind, Kevv.

Do you have a sponsor, right now?If so, what does he/she have to say about Tanya and the fact that you have known her during your checkered past?I just do not want to see you set yourself up to be challenged in ways that are difficult to deal with.
Don't let her Push you, Kevv. Make your own mind.Take your time.
