"what to do" you ask". You answered ur own question. havin that nu roomate wasnt working out for you and ur nerves. its a done deal. you tried. you cant do it. its ok.
its my experience that the best reason to take in a roomate is to help with the finanances. other wise, whats the point?
two recovering addicts under one roof would only work best when both have alot of clean time under their belts. who possess the tools it takes to deal with other people. we have triggers, maybe this one clicks ur triggers? not a healthy set up when roommate works ur last nerves to wear u wanna snap. this might lead you back to addiction. ask yourself: do you wish to risk this.
i would question my motives as to why i need a roomate. for company? for extra money? to help another out because im so nice? so many reasons. at end of day, one has to be able to go to bed, relaxed and safe. knowing nothing or no one is gonna mess up my sobriety, at least no under my roof. no freakin way sister! i wouldnt have it.
