Please educate yourself about alcoholism and codependency. Let us know how you get on.

Thanks. To be clear, she became sober in Feb 2017, and had three minor relapses. So, 3 small relapses in 11 months (I was there for two of them and may have enabled them, bc I was obviously unaware of the infidelity, but obviously will NEVER drink around her or encourage her to drink again).
