Ty all for your thoughts. I realize that any type of alcoholic is tough to live with. The only personal experience I have is with my AW. Right now she sober and nice and cooking dinner, sweet as can be. Like jeckyl and Hyde. I can see the storm brewing though. By tomorrow she will get that look and the itch to drink and you can see how she starts formulating the lies to go drinking. Then she will disappear for hours and come back with that angry drunk persona. One word from me and doors start slamming. Funny she always tells me that she's getting her hair and nails done. Found out the other day that these salons serve alcohol and that many AW go there to drink. Kinda like another type of bar. Never knew that.
