Hi Dotty; I am coming to you from a different perspective. I was drinking too much and my husband was always telling me this. He used to find my empty bottles hidden all over the place. He was going crazy with his codependancy, and driving me crazy and farther away from him as well.

I finally "got it" accepted that I had a drinking problem, accepted that I was an alcoholic. That was in 1996.

I wish that your wife would be willing to email me and we could chat. If you think she would be open to that please feel free to let me know. In the meantime listening to what others here have to say is invaluable. Take care of yourself and your kids.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you
Diana
