There are some very sucessful
relationships in recovery.
I can't tell you what could
have happened in my own
marriage, cause I don't know.
All I know is, I got sober at
7 yrs in our marriage and remained
sober up to our 25th.
The sad thing was, I was the
only one in my little family with
a program. My husband did
attempt al-anon learning the
word dettachment and that was
it....
My marriage was lopsided.
Sadly it ended at 25 yrs and
today Im happily remarried to
someone in recovery where
we both have a program and
understand each other.
If you both are willing to work
a recovery program in ur relationship
then go for it.
If for whateverr reason it fails
then at least the 2 of you did
all u could and separating again
won't be a question.
