That was going to be my only suggestion as well. That chapter talks specifically about the spouse spending too much time in AA, not connecting at home, and that feeling of betrayal when the spouse relies on her new friends instead of you. The spouse feels inadequate because they seem to be not needed.

That chapter can be read as a soft sell, go easy on the poor alcoholic kind of thing. But if you look really close, there's actually a bunch of really good spiritual directions for the spouse. That might be beneficial here. Follow the directions for YOU.
