yeah, I agree with bebop, I know it's hard even hell on someone when they are giving up an addiction and another member under the roof isn't.
Plus, if one is continuing what the other has worked so hard or is working hard on, why tempt them?
If the addictive things are around, and one is not home,its much too tempting so early in this stage, and can cause relapse.
Giving it up for now, will not hurt you either, it's better for your health, and helps prevent you from ever getting hooked.
She may say she doesn't want you to give up drinking because of her, but tell her you are doing it for yourself,your health. If she is still angry then that may be a teeny red flag, that she wishes you'd have some where she can easily get it?
Do what your heart tells you,don't let her anger on telling you not to quit for her,tempt you to do so.
It can possibly (I hope not) set you up as the one that tempted her, if she should relapse, making you out to be the bad guy.
Take care and lots of luck with this.
