Perhaps when things are going well, some of us tend to move away from MIP. I am afraid I have been one who has done just that.
"A" companion has been sober for several months now. Not a single slip in 7 or 8 months. While I am happy for that, I am also aware that his bingeing may well continue, now and again, for the rest of his life. And so, although I am sure I will never completely relax, for now things are, to coin a word, handleable.
Even while I am not here on MIP, there is never a day that passes when my thoughts do not turn to all of us on MIP who struggle for our sanity and our serenity. I wish you all well, and send great affection to each of you.

I've been wondering how you were doing, as we are in much the same situation. I too have an ABF who is a binge-relapser, currently sober for 9 months. And I find myself vacillating between hoping his recovery takes this time, and expecting another relapse.
