I am a little confused... she's angry that you are about to quit drinking?
She's probably scared... even if your marriage was rocky, it was, probably somewhat stable... predictable... even if it wasn't her idea of a perfect relationship. And if you were in the bottle, she was OK to keep going in whatever dysfunction she was in...
Change is scary... Al-anon probably opened her eyes to some of the changes ahead... and things are not gonna be status quo for a while...
Fear turned inward is depression.... Turned outward it is anger.
Perhaps it's time to get started... don't drink, go to meetings, work the steps, pray. Work on YOUR recovery, you can only clean your side of the street. You can't clean hers...
Let God begin to restore YOU to sanity. Your wife can begin her journey when she is ready.
Mark
