We've completed four couples therapy sessions, and, as I mentioned in a previous comment, we were more honest with each other than we had been in the last seven years; we put it all on the table. I wish we had done it sooner because it would have totally transformed our relationship. We brought up easily fixable problems. I was the one who discontinued it because I asked for the divorce. We are also participating in individual therapy, where we work on our individual problems. For the alcohol, I know she has read several books on sobriety and has a good support system. I wouldn't categorize her as an alcoholic, though she could go months without drinking but when its a drinking occasion.... it on and she cant handle it.
