The AlAnon program shows us that our lives are full of choices and one is to find happiness, whether the alcoholic is still drinking or not. Your experience is your experience, but it is not the destiny of every person who chooses to remain in the life of an alcoholic. It's important that we each take responsibility for our own individual choice of how to view things, no matter how hurt we are.
