At my meeting tonight we discussed relationships during recovery. One thing that I never thought about is how as a recovering alcoholic, once I was sober, they way I processed situations or conflicts in a relationship has changed too. I am slower to react and think through things before I respond to the situation at hand. I also find myself applying what I have learned in AA to every situation. When I look back at it now and see this I can also see where this has complicated some things, like in my previous marriage. I can see how it has been a positive and a negative impact depending on the relationship.
