She was just abstaining from drinking. She went through phases where she would go to AA meetings in the past, but it never stuck. She felt it was cultish. Neither of us are religious, spiritual maybe, but not organized religion. Anyway, after the second hospital stay to detox she just quit on her own. Stopped the aftercare without completing it because she said she didn't need it. Stayed sober for one week short of an entire year, but started drinking again when I caught wind of her cheating and started asking questions.
