Angry Major problem tonight

Today I am 23 days sober. And there is a meeting tonight that I have made the last 3 weeks, that I enjoy.

I have made it clear all day to my wife that I planned on going to this meeting.

Now... when I got home from work tonight I was witness to some MAJOR over reactions toward things at our house and I called her on them (not in a mean way, just a simple calling out). She got upset and exclaimed that I wasn't going to the meeting, she was. (there is al-anon same location). We have two small children who are both sick with RSV and can not go out right now due to being contagious.

The kicker of it for me is, she has grown up in al-anon. And has regularly attended meeting for better than half her life.

Why would she put me in this position? I'm 23 days sober, and I NEED these meetings. All this has done is left me with a very strong desire to drink. Because if I don't have the support of my wife, why bother?
