Thank you Steve85 for sharing some insight from the other side. I am happy to hear that you have embraced sobriety for 24 years!
She has shown small acknowledgements in the recent past that she has a bad relationship with alcohol and has wanted to seek some help. I listened, and gave encouragement during these times. BUT, when she discussed with her family members, they all told her that she didn't have a problem with alcohol, and was crazy to think that she did. These are the same people that have come to me, one by one, and expressed their deep concern about her heavy drinking.
I have been fighting against the addiction demon in her, in addition to the dysfunctional family dynamic, in addition to our own marital issues. It feels like this will be a no win for our M.
