In you first post you feared losing your wife. That fear didn't keep you sober. And your continued drinking got you this.
Will it be enough to get you sober?
In my own experience, the consequences of my drinking weren't enough to get me sober. It took a decision on my part to quit, action on my part to stay quit, and a plan of recovery to support that decision.
I couldn't have said it better myself. Until you make a mental inventory and actually decide and want to quit, nothing works. The support system you chose has nothing to do with it, Yes, it helps you stay the course, it can be a 12 step, it can be SR forum or something else, but until you really decide that you want to be sober more than drunk. No support group in the world can quit for you. Harsh, yes, but I have learned the hard way. One PI, two DUI's. Robbed twice while drunk, wife threatening to leave. The list goes on and on. Make that decision sooner than later.
