There's hope, I guess.

Revenge Tour,
I am so glad you had a good day. That indicates to me from a non-professional view that she still has the will to remain sober. That is a good starting point but as seesaw mentions couple's therapy may help set up and enforce boundaries.
My impression is this could be a mental health challenge on her end and so your acceptance of that might help the situation to be dealt with with patience and understanding and hopefully at some point she may be open to diagnosis and treatment. But that cannot be forced. I have seen that in friends. The couple's therapist may be able to guide that situation better than her husband. My experience is that the more I insist on things the more my friend rebels and digs their heels in and says "NO!"
