My situation is similar to 'silly'. My wife is no where near an alcoholic. She goes out with the girls for a drink or two on rare occasions. I've actually encouraged her to have the odd drink in front of me if she wants. But she feels guilty about it. I kind of feel like it can maybe help me get used to seeing people drink in the most safe environment possible with someone whom I love, knows what I am going through and will stop if I ask. So far it has happened 2-3 times in the 2 months since I quit. It is a little hard for me, but not unbearable, and it's a part of reality I will have to face in much harsher circumstances later on.
For others though, it may not be the way to go.
