What I would say now is I thought the drinking was fun. It seemed to me we were stuck in a rut and all we did was work, chores, kids, dogs, repeat. I kept tell my W that we need to go have some fun, but she couldn't stand a dirty house, laundry, etc etc. She was truly obsessed with these things. So I would drink and still help with all those things every day/night. It made them more fun/tolerable to do every single day.
