dealing with guilt

This is my first post so bear with me. Last week I finally told my wife that I was done dealing with her addiction. I asked her to give me some space and she left the house for 4 days. Now she is back and we are trying to get her to a halfway house of sorts so she can keep her job, but participate in a more intense recovery program than just a councilor. So at the moment she is back at our house, and I very much need her to move out so I can begin to move on, but I am full of so much guilt. I am unable to clearly navigate this guilty feeling. I have a councilor that I see weekly and have gone to a few alanon meetings and will continue to do so, but I just can't get over this feeling of leaving someone I love to the wolves while I go and find the happiness that used to exist in my life. What the hell has happened to my brain? Can anyone provide any advice? Thanks for letting me share.
