You can do this. As for a drinking spouse, I just can't relate there. You have my sympathies for sure, as I can't imagine how hard that'd be.
You're right. My anger is probably fear, sadness, disappointment, grief etc etc. Early sobriety is really hard but it's a little easier when I have such nice people like you and countless others freely helping me here on SR. :-) Thank you Soberpotamus !
