I don't think my husband took me seriously at first - because in previous attempts to either moderate or quit altogether, I'd cave as soon as he brought home the alcohol.
He kept stressing to me that "most people drink" and "most moms drink wine" etc. - I think because he knew a major point of relation for us is alcohol.
He's adjusting, and drinking much less himself these days. I just focus on keeping myself sober and trying to control my own behaviors - but in a quiet way, does that make sense? Even in a marriage, I think recovery in alcoholism is an intensely personal journey - you can't force someone to be on the same page as you.
