You've made the same suggestions for other people on their threads when they've been a "mess." What's stopping you now?
Flying out to meet your wife rather than getting help? What's up with that?

One word of advice. Don't get on the plane hammered. That sudden change of 36,000 feet in altitude will make you pass out. Trust me, I know from experience.
You get all light headed, start sweating like crazy, so decide you should go to the bathroom. Next thing you know, you're laying on the floor with a couple flight attendants over you, asking if you're ok because you collapsed.

What a terrible burden to put on your wife. No person has the power to keep someone else sober. Sometimes there is the ILLUSION of that power--to both people--but it isn't real, and it isn't lasting. Wouldn't it be better to learn how to LIVE sober so you don't need a babysitter 24/7?

Jeff....our sobriety can't hinge on a person or our circumstances or our feelings! We are the only ones responsible for our sobriety. It isn't right to put that kind of pressure on our loved ones, anyway. I know you've heard this a hundred times here, but it's true.

All of us here, collectively, have read and heard, perhaps even done, such things thousands of times.
Knock it off and get help.
