To me, Honesty is the absolute cornerstone of sobriety. Especially honesty with ourselves. Your wife may not believe you or trust you initially, that's very common as we have all lied about our drinking. But action will help you regain your trust. Seeking medical advise and/or counseling ( and following through on the recommendations ) shows others that you are serious. Not drinking in itself shows a committment. Make being sober your #1 priority and you'll be amazed at how far you can go, regardless of what has happened in the past.
