Well, in a sense, she's 100% correct. You are full of s**t because you haven't stopped even though you said you were going to. But that's par for the course, and it's happened to just about all of us. And not just with our spouses, but our kids, parents, co workers, friends, etc...

The good news is that if you do sober up and make a habit of living the sober life, you won't be full of it anymore and you will regain her trust. Most likely some admiration too for doing the right thing for yourself.

The other good news is that you are apologizing for not quitting drinking. You could be apologizing for getting a dui, draining a bank account, ending up in the ER, losing your job, etc... Like the farmers say...make hay while the sun is shining!
