She's hurt, I've lied, I've been using..........she is not an addict in any way shape or form. Having to deal with my addiction in our last 22 years together I'm sure has been beyond difficult. I've put time of abstinence together. Always go back. I went back about year ago and it's taken its toll very quickly physically, emotionally, spiritually............this is serious, I don't want to die. Yes I'm leaving her with alot of financial responsibility.........I'm sure she's stressed........... I can beat this thing without help, serious help, which I'm 99%sure I've found a residential treatment facility.

Hello and welcome!
I couldn't quit by myself, either. I ended up getting sober through AA and using online support. I hope you'll find a treatment center soon.
It does get better, and getting support is definitely helpful. Sometimes crucial.
Take it day by day right now. Hour by hour, minute by minute if you need to.
It really will get better. Best wishes to you.

Hi there, I did a 7 day detox program, then intensive outpatient. The detox was SO helpful for me to get through those early withdrawal days medically safe. Outpatient group has been incredible support. I personally could never get sober alone.
I don't know your wife, of course, but I'm going to guess she is at the end of her rope too and not sure how all of this will work. Addiction is a family problem.
What I do know, after reading many stories from wives and husbands of alcoholics, is you are doing the right thing.
I wish you well. If you like you can always suggest your wife check out the F&F forum which is here:
