Sometimes we have to abandon relationships if it affects our sobriety, remember people places and things. Sobriety must come before everything. After many disastrous relationships during my drinking life, I had given up. After 5 year's of sobriety I met my wife, who was then a sober alcoholic of 3 years and she had given up, as I had. We married, without any expectations of each other and spent 27 year's together. My wife passed away suddenly a few weeks ago, but I remained sober and I thank God for having allowed me to meet her. AA doesn’t guarantee you anything, no more than life does, but it will give you back your life and what we do with it is up to us.
