I would cut back while enjoying a dinner with her, then secretly pretend to take recycling out and chug wine/beer in the garage....

Hi WWG,as far as what your wife said about being excited about being sober two days, i think sometimes people just don't know what to say, or how to react, so they just say SOMETHING, it doesn't have to make sense, it's all new for you guys. have a great sober weekend! Hey, a little on that same note kind of, i havent had refined sugar for four days and i feel like i just got nominated for a nobel peace prize....

I even told my friend about my issues and he was shocked about how I drank 8-10 beers a night, and had no clue. I told my wife how proud I was of myself and that I am feeling better, and she does not seem to really care all that much.
And go Patriots!!!

Congrats on your outstanding sober outing. Just wait until you hit 36 days - it will make you and your wife equally proud. Walk on and keep up the great work!
