When I met my XAB. He had been divorced 2 years. He said that he was sober for 3 years when he met he's ex wife, but by the time they were coming home from their honeymoon he was on the plane thinking of ways to get out of it. I realize now that he was just a dry drunk. The big 50k wedding/party was over and now just the boredom of marriage and grown up life lay ahead. I got to experience the full relapse.

We read so many stories of the lives and families of A's restored after rehab/detox that we know that it can be done and we are sure that we are going to be one of the success stories. When it doesn't happen, we are crushed. That fog of addiction zozo77 mentioned not only obscures the core of the A from us, but it obscures the A from life. They have no clear picture of themselves and have failed to grow as people. All we can do is save ourselves and salvage the precious years we have left on this planet. It sounds like you are well on your way! Praying for you!
