I don't think ZR was trying to invalidate any recovering A's. It seems to me, that he is just stating the facts of how many actually seek recovery and are sucessful. At 54 his wife has progressed in the disease and this is very hard on the family members. I know for me I have stuck it out way too long in the hopes of my AH being one of the small percentage that get treatment.

I personally benifit from hearing the statistics on this. I am glad to have found SR and have people like ZR post his findings because it helps me to make more informed decision on my life with my AH. I have hung on too long hoping and praying that he would finally get it and seek treatment. As of last week, he is still trying the control route and tells me he can not understand why I am leaving him. He says that he provides for his family quite well and besides the drinking issue, things are great. I finally realized I will never get him to understand and that is ok with me now.

To all the A's in recovery, congrats to you!!
