[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know people who have been sober for decades - but relapse is always a possibility and stress is a major trigger. Does he know why he became an alcoholic and food addict? Was it childhood trauma? Because all of that gets triggered while raising children and he has to have clear plans for coping with triggers and not repeating negative patterns. Obviously it’s a risk. But [b]most people have baggage and marrying someone who hasn’t even acknowledged his yet and might have no capacity to work a 12 step program and hold themselves accountable is worse to find yourself in than being with someone who knows how to work on himself.[/b][/quote] This. Someone who knows their 'stuff' and is willing to work on it is a much safer bet than someone who doesn't seem to have stuff (because we all do), or worse, thinks they don't have stuff. [/quote]
