I'm a single guy so I can't talk about spouse and drinking but at first, it was really hard for me to not drink and have alcohol in the same house. After 8 months since, I told my recovery serious. I only had 3 slip ups and 10 feet from me their is alcohol that I can drink at anytime but I choice not to. At this point of my life, I just want to stay sober. It's really not hard when you don't have that drive to get drunk.
But if your spouse wants to continue to drink then tell them to only bring enough for that night, so that you can't drink any when you can't control your cravings.
