Day 50 for me. Been sober for a couple years long before I was married. I'm 54 now. My wife is more of a binge alcoholic. I have quit for 6 months at different periods of our 15 year marriage. We have a 10 yo son. My wife cannot stand the fact that I am sober, she says I am boring and not paying attention to her. She expects me to go to bars we used to get drunk and fight at to hang with her and her single friends. I have never been arrested or lost my job, but I drank 20 beers a day. Wife says she will never quit alcohol. She has also been diagnosed manic depressive, OCD. Takes psych meds. Obviously this is not a good situation to stay sober in. I'm only staying in the marriage for my son's sake.
