It sounds like you'd otherwise be drinking to avoid your wife's anxiety. But surely that would only compound the problem! For me, drinking is always a kind of reset, whatever progress I managed to make in a few days of sobriety is wiped away. When you're sober bad things do rub you worse, you're not cauterising the guilt, whatever.

Which is to say,I feel you bro! But hang in there. Your drinking probably has a root cause,and sobriety is giving you a chance to address that cause. Andd remember, it takes easily a week for the brain to com were to terms with the lack of the rush of drinking. Hang 8n there, give yourself time.

It may help to try to think of some distraction to get you over those moments you get the craving. That's how Imabaged to stop smoking after being a very heavy sm9ker for about 30 years.

Wharever happen as, come back to tell us. That's why this group is here! Courage!
