I never needed to drink 24/7 was/am just as alcoholic as the next guy, my disease just hadn't progressed as far.

Your 'recovery program' does seem pretty vague, seems only to consist of going to AA meetings, and telling her that you're not drinking.

She's probably dealing with the same person, sans alcohol, so I can hardly blame her for not trusting you.

The AA program is a catalyst for changing the alcoholic, work the program, become a better person, and you can win the trust of your wife back.
