If you made the decision to stay after a relapse/slip, did you go to couples counseling with your spouse to address whatever happened during the relapse, or what lead up to the relapse? Or did you just leave the relapse in the past and move forward, focusing on the recovery?

Thank you for sharing your stories. I'm so grateful for this community.

I should mention that I participate in Al anon and go to individual counseling. This question was specifically to get some idea of whether or not it has been beneficial in addition to solo work.
