Told my wife

I drove my wife to work this morning and told her about my new found soberness and the support I've found here. Naturally, she is very supportive which is great for me.

What I found surprising is that she didn't seem to be as aware as I thought she was. When I tried to breach the subject last weekend, she seemed very nonchalant. "oh that's nice" was about all I got. This morning I pushed how important this was to me and she came across as very receptive this time.

The only question I didn't answer was 'how much'. For one thing, it's embarrassing and another is I don't think it relative to my recovery. Beside that, she was with me a year ago as I was being prepped for surgery and was honest with the doctor about how much and how often I drank.

My wife is a total non drinker so maybe she has trouble understanding. The important thing is I'm now able to talk to her.
