I'd venture to say over 90 percent of the people on this forum have been in this situation. One of the typical responses new people here have is the sense that their situation is unique. No other alcoholic is as special as theirs, no love is as special as theirs.
If you open your mind just a bit, you will see that we have more in common than we have differences. As long as you insist on seeing your situation or alcoholic or self as being unique you will be resistant to the collective wisdom of the members of this forum, which means you won't enjoy the maximum benefit of SR.
