One of the most important things I've learned is the difference between sobriety and recovery. My XABF is a sweetheart and lots of fun when he's drinking. Took me awhile to learn that the barrier between us was all of the reasons that he drinks - and all of the reasons that I get anxiety about him. Sometimes, there is no glaring, horrific drunken behavior and it's hard to see how alcoholism eats away at a relationship, especially when the person isn't acting terribly or even not drinking.
