Doesn't sound right to me but as mentioned it could be a controlling issue or just her wish that you could have a few & be that "funny" talkative guy with the glow on.
Maybe you could share why you came here & even your first post. Its obvious that you care about your family & want a better life for yourself & them.
Having a straight forward, loving conversation about the changes you are trying to make & why will allow her to feel that she is a part of your recovery as opposed to a bystander looking to to control the situation.
Just an opinion/thought of someone who wants to see you succeed in beating this addiction.
All of the best in your recovery.

Here is my fear, I get sober for a couple of weeks and think I can handle drinking, and I can't! I know that now. Any advice of what to do when that feeling creeps up. I am assuming it will again. For now I just think about how hard drinking is on my family. Thanks in advance!
