Just my opinion. But I would think your wife and kids would prefer to have you sober.
Have you explained to the kids that this is a temporary thing. Youre sick and youre going for treatment. And that hopefully this treatment will make you better.
You might also want to point out that when your drunk youre not really "there" even if your home.
Just a thought from a wife but if before you always disappeared when you drank then your wife may consider this just another excuse to get out of the house. Sorry. ;-) Its up to you to convince her that youre not just out having "fun".
If you want to earn extra credit with your wife apologize for being a weasel EVEN if you dont think youre a weasel. If you read thru some of the old posts youll see a continuing thread that the Codies are upset because the A's wont apologize for the stuff theyve done.
If you cant say it then write it in a letter.
You didnt say but do they go to Alanon.
