It's extremely sad because SO MANY of us A's regret the lost relationships the most once we are finally clean and sober. A's can deal with the arrests, the lost job etc but the real pain is knowing you have hurt and lost someone that was an Angel and you were never sober enough to realize it. So far, I am lucky to be sober and my wife stayed with me while I got help and still do. We have our problems but they are more along the lines of normal mariatal issues.
