Sounds like some good progress, so far. I hope amidst all this struggle, you're finding a few moments (I know that's near impossible with a newborn!) for yourself. One word of caution (I'm not always gloom and doom!), I went to my doctor after I had my son to talk about post partum depression/anxiety, and he ended up just telling me it was normal, and writing me a giant prescription for anti-anxiety meds- Xanax (benzos, HIGHLY addictive) and sent me on my way. I took a few that day, and felt like I had taken a few shots of vodka. I threw them out. I know alcohol is your wife's 'drug of choice', but newly sober, a new 'high' might be tempting to abuse. She can ask the doctor about non-medicinal alternatives to treat whatever he deems is going on, like counseling, relaxation therapy, mom groups, yoga (etc)..
