I do think she'll just become a better hider. My sister lives 3 states away, but I can find a place. I've been thinking of asking HER to leave.
My X is a former alcoholic, now sober though, and dumping didn't work in my case. Causes better hiding as you suggest, and anger issues. And not your job to be doing hide/seek for her bottles.
I do not under any circumstance think you should move out. Your W should be the one to move out if you decide. I stick by attending Alanon first to get ideas on confrontation and re: your W moving out. They prob. will also give you some great support and really experienced people, that have been through it all before.
