I had heard that drinking can trigger another episode? I don't want to be insensitive and tell her that I don't think we should drink anymore just because I think it might cause problems. She says she is fine with it, and is not to concerned. I would really appreciate some input! Thanks !

Hi flyingdboy,
I am also new to this site. So, welcome to you. My wife and I are both sober from a previous dependence on alcohol. I Cured myself earlier than her, so I also know the difficulty and sensitivity of "triggering" another episode. Everyone is unique, but I have found that sobriety can be compromised by many triggers. My wife had told me many times that she was fine and under control. But, it only takes one...which led to another and so on. I have found that the key is the underlying reason that causes us to drink, smoke, take pills, etc. Anyway, I talk too much...sorry. Do me a favor and check out a book. It has CURED (and yes I said cure, not helped) my wife and I of the dependency on alcohol. It addresses the underlying reasons for dependency , so you can be cured. It's called :
THE ALCOHOL AND ADDICTION CURE by Chris Prentiss. It has saved our lives. Period. I wish you and your loved one all the peace, health, and love both of you deserve.
