Your partner is right. You want to drink "normally" but you don't have a normal person's relationship with alcohol. You put alcohol ahead of your sobriety and possibly your relationship with your significant other.

I don't know what kind of alcoholic chaos brought you to seek sobriety six years ago, but I bet it wasn't moderate drinking, the pipe dream of every alcoholic. Don't know what to tell you. If you can't accept never drinking again...you will drink, again. And will have to face the consequences of that decision.

Ask yourself, "Why is alcohol so important to me?"
