It was the greatest thing to happen to my wife...
...it's been well over a year since she went to jail for two nights. She threw herself into recovery, relapsed one day about six months ago, and has been sober ever since (so far--it really is one day at a time).
She works AA like it's a religion, and it's working better for her than anything else has since she started drinking in 2002.
Good luck and take care,
Cyranoak
