Sorry your wife doesn't have much faith in you UpDownAround, but it's not all that uncommon for the partners of us alcoholics. I don't know about you, but before I finally quit for good (hopefully), I must have said "I'm sorry!" & "It won't happen again!" a hundred times! It takes time for those close to us to believe we've finally reached a point where we want to quit for good. If you're like me, my family heard all that before. While it hurts to feel that we're not getting proper support, sometimes words aren't enough...Those close to us need "living proof." I truely believe you have the resolve to quit, & am sorry your wife hurt your feelings by expressing her lack of confidence. All I'm saying is it's not all that uncommon. Don't let your resentment lead you down an unwise path. I think you've got this!
