I stayed for a while after the relapses - I continued to work on my own recovery (Al-Anon) and improving my self ~ he continued on the downward spiral. . . there would be brief times of sobriety but he seemed to always go back to the disease. We both attended meetings, he AA & me Al-Anon, tried counseling, but due to his disease, he was unable to be honest in counseling so there was no need to go.

Then it became evident that he was not going to stay sober, I found it was healthier for me to walk away with dignity & self-respect.

From my experience, if both parties are willing to go to any lengths for sobriety & for their relationship to be healthy - counseling, meetings & recovery can help in mending the brokenness.

Wishing you the best
