Question Acronyms

I am not sure where to post this and have done a search here and on google but can't find an answer. I am pretty savvy internet wise but for the life of me can't figure out "AH" and "abf".

Anyone? Maybe others that I haven't run across but hard to decipher?

Thanks!!!

AS: Alcoholic/ Addict Son
ABF: Alcoholic / Addict Boyfriend
AW: Alcoholic/ Addict Wife
ASO: Alcoholic/Addict Significant Other
EXAH : Ex addict/alcoholic Husband
DH: Divorced Husband
STBX: Soon to Be Ex

SD: Sober Daughter
BIL: Brother in Law
MIL Mother in Law

IMHO: In my humble opinion

Hope that helps!

It was pointed out to me that alcoholics are NEVER humble, so we should just use IMO.
