[quote=Anonymous]The only times I've seen relationships fail when someone gets sober is a) when the sober person can't stay friends with people that have their own addiction issues they aren't addressing so sober person cuts ties or b) when the sober person starts pathologizing the normal drinking behavior of those around them so the friends cut ties. When one of my uncles got sober, he became very anti any alcohol and really laid into anyone that wouldn't admit alcohol is the devil and a terrible sin. He'd spent years putting his family and all of us through hell with his drinking and awful behavior so to then have him then sit in judgement about how awful we are for having a beer at a cookout was just too much to stomach. He couldn't see that some of us could have a beer and it was just a beer, it didn't turn into 18 beers and beating the hell out of your family. [/quote]
