Bob, sorry to hear about your situation. You've come to the right place for support in matters that include alcoholism.

Speaking from the drinker's side, negative reinforcement is only going to make it worse.

Maybe pick a good moment to comuninate to her how it makes you feel. Use "I" statements and avoid starting with "you" statements that are only going to put her on the defensive.

While I was drinking, effective communication was nonexistent in my house, and after nearly two years of being sober, it is only slightly better.
