I met my fiance IP three years ago. It was a rocky relationship at the beginning. We were both unstable with bipolar and using drugs and alcohol. I am happy to say we stayed together through his 13 month incarceration period from DUIs and are both sober and clean and stable. We both attend AA and therapy and are doing well and very much in love. We now go back to the hospital we met at and take the AA meeting in there to the patients and try to help them. We are a success story. It can happen but it takes a lot of work and a lot of love.
