Or getting real honest and telling her that your are an alcoholic, one drink and you lose control and you cannot beat this on your own and want to seek treatment for the benefit of all..would be a good place to start.
I thought he was being honest when he wrote, "I cant make her understand that I cant even have a single drink because that drink will most indefinitely lead to me getting black out drunk and doing something stupid."
When he wrote, "I dont drink everyday so my wife just thinks I have self control issues," I took that to mean that his wife doesn't recognize the magnitude of his problem, not that he doesn't recognize it or acknowledge it.
