I asked the AW if she thought that the drinking had caused any issues, and suprisingly enough, she didn't see it.
That is not surprising. For active ones its common, expected behavior.
I have been out 3 years. There is still denial. And much alcohol. Fine.
OUR lives go on.

I wonder when or if it will hit her that I'm not there for her anymore?
I used to wonder the same. Then I figured it does not matter! I am FINE if it never hits him (which is a real possibility given how few active alcoholics do commit to recovery and stick with it no matter what). I am not there to witness the train wreck. I am not there to witness someone's slow suicide. I am no longer there to die with him, slowly, every day. I am not buying the "I am just living life to its fullest!" charade any longer.
Congratulations on your new beginning!
