As far as, My wife and I, who are still together after all the ******** we put each other through, have had to prioritize and set boundaries based on the following list (it is the only way we can stay together):
- AA for her, Alanon for me.
- Our Daughter.
- Our relationship.
Sadly, neither one of us will ever be a priority over our recovery or our daughter. Happily, we are both really pleased with the results of prioritizing in such a fashion. I can truly say that the last 8 months have been the best months of our relationship (which began in 1998).
Take what you want and leave the rest.

Ahhh...shucks...I am blushing! Thanks!
But I am also making close note of your priority list because this is what I am striving for. It's a bumpy road to get there, isn't it? But we seem to make progress...one step forward and sometimes two back...but at least there's the one step forward.
