Navy, I so feel for you. Not sure if you know, my mom is an alcoholic and when everyone thinks maybe this time she will figure it out and fix it... bam... something else becomes the reason to drink...
Each time, I talk to my dad when I know it's going on. He's a recovering alcoholic, himself. And I can see in him when he is happy and really seems to believe she's done... and then it hits again and you can tell his hope is just crushed.
Your W has a real problem if she's drunk by 6pm on "any given day". Of course, I do mean that in the sense that, if Wednesday was her work scheduled Saturday, and she was out with friends all day and had a few too many wobbly pops and needed to lay down for a rest after dinner...
but... I'm guessing that's not the case with your W.
Like 25, I so reach out to you with hugs and prayers that she finds her way. And that you and your children survive this in the best possible way you can.
