Personally, I think that a healthy person lives in the present and doesn't spend his/her life futurizing and catastrophizing. If an A has been sober (and I do mean "sober," not "dry") awhile and is working a strong program of recovery, why should he/she be any more risky to be in relationship with than anyone else?

Actually, at this point in my life, I tend to believe that people who are aware of and seriously working on their sh*t -- whatever that sh*t is and however they are working on it -- are far and away the best prospects when it comes to a strong, healthy relationship.
