Thanks, that was the thread I was thinking about.

And you are right. Those who are sucessful in terms of staying in a relationship with a recovering A aren't the one who post in this section. Its a sad truth that those posting in here are the ones for whom the relationship either isn't working or who chose end a relationship already, leading to a different definition of success and happy ending.
