You may want to take the hint. That means she knows full well what you're doing, and doesn't feel like dealing with it. I'm not sure if she's going to be very impressed if you just show up at her hotel mid way through her trip, hammered out of your mind. May want to rethink that one.
I hope you don't choose to do this but instead get to detox.
You really are at risk of pushing your wife too far and losing your support
system and the stability you have.
It isn't worth it.
We've been where you are and it really does hurt.

You love her to death? Is this a great way to show it? Turning up in a state and expecting her to sort you out. Do you think maybe she deserves more than that?
If you love her as much as you say, maybe you could show her that you're willing to put the work in to get clean and sober by checking into rehab. That way you could start be to support her as much as she supports you.

There is no booze today. I have to work tomorrow. I think I know why I am the way that I am. I will post this once and only once and I don't want to get into any war stories, but I went through alot of "stuff" when I was younger. Everything from my father punching me in the face, dealing hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of drugs, organized crime, life support, flying airplanes high on cocaine, been on TV, did commercials for health and fitness companies, was sponsored by LifeTime Fitness, hung out Brahm Acradi (who founded LifeTime fitness), I've been in the same hotel that the movie Goodfellas was filmed in, my father built casinos all over the world. Pretty interesting stuff, it was all wrong. Somehow I survived to tell about it

The past can certainly shape us, and a lot of us have some pretty horrific backgrounds. There is help for those things, but you need to be sober first....just tackle that for today.

One last thing, a couple of my "buddies" robbed a brinks truck of 4 million dollars....they are still in prison. But I saw what 4 million cash looks like, and I don't blame them. its a lot of damn money.

'I drank for joy and became miserable.
I drank to be outgoing and became self centered.
I drank to be sociable and became lonely.
I drank for friendship and made enemies.
I drank to soften sorrow and wallowed in self-pity.
I drank for sleep and awakened without rest.
I drank for strength and felt weak.
I drank for relaxation and got the shakes.
I drank for confidence and felt unsure
I drank for courage and became afraid
I drank for assurance and became doubtful
I drank to forget thoughts and had blackouts
I drank for conversation and tied my tongue
I drank to be in heaven and I came to know hell
I drank to forget and became haunted
I drank for freedom and became a slave (of alcohol)
I drank to ease problems and saw them multiply
I drank to cope with life and invited death.
I drank because I had the 'right' to and everything turned out wrong.
Said this fellow, 'It must have taken a bunch of booze to get you in this shape?
I said, 'Just one. For me one is too many and a thousand isn't enough.'

Yeah, thought you might be a landscaper. Asked in a thread couple months ago, but never got a response. I landscaped for a couple years myself. Just as a grunt labourer though, not the boss. Was the maintenance foreman during the second year though.
Tough job. 100+ hour weeks, you get home at 11:30pm and debate whether you should have a shower or eat, because you don't have time for both, as you need to be up at 6am to go back to work. Sometimes on Sunday you'd get to call it quits at 5pm, then you'd spend your evening wondering what you're supposed to do with all you free time, because you're not used to it.
Was a good time in my life though. The crew(s) you work with become your second family, because you're with each other almost every waking hour of the day.
Always loved when the new guys showed up. heh, the boss had it easy, because he didn't even have to fire anyone. If you couldn't cut it, we made sure you quit within your first week, lol. We're exhausted and pushing ourselves as is, so last thing we need is to pick up the slack from someone else.
