Im incredibly lucky to still have my wife and kids and wouldnt blame her if she had left by the time i get home, but can only hope she is still there and that we can work this out. By God i'm going to fight for her, and for us. She deserves to be happy and with a guy who can treat her like she deserves, and i know i can be that guy.
That's the spirit! But don't feel dumb about the labels. In all honesty I kept rationalizing to myself for a long time that I'm not an "alcoholic" and I just needed to get control. It's actually pretty normal from what I can see!
