My marriage is over and I blame AA.?

I'm finally moving out next week, after my wife's 14th month of "recovery", at her urging. And I have to say I'm pissed off. She entered AA because of a drinking problem consisting of two glasses of wine a night. Which I hardly saw as a problem. But her involvement in the program took over her life. She goes to at least three meetings a week, only hangs out with AA friends, all of whom are single moms, and she stopped relating to me (and our 5 year old son, together as a family) a year ago. She now chairs the meetings, etc. Constantly on the phone with sponsors or people she's sponsoring etc. I see AA and her addiction to the gratification she's getting from it, as the reason for this. I've posted on this before, but now that this marriage has reached a conclusive end I am looking for more thoughts on this question. Is it a known thing that AA can affect a marriage negatively in this way? Ever since she entered it I lost her, and now completely...ten years went poof just like that and turned a vibrant woman into a zombie who just stands there before me and tells me I "really should just join an alanon group"
