If they sober up this type of woman may be a total turn off for them, they may want a woman who is thier equal in thier eyes, that has good self esteem and they know will not tolerate thier crap if they screw up again. In other words the A has learned that in order to stay sober they need a woman that will dump them like a hot potato if they screw up and not enable them to drink again.
Taz, the is the most interesting thing I heard and it makes so much sense!! I've had a moment. Wow!
