Can't stop, won't stop

Today, I found out that my wife, who is supposed to be a recovering alcoholic, drank an entire bottle of wine and then tried to hide it at the bottom of a garbage bin. To make matters worse, when I confronted her about it, she tried to convince me that our 5-year-old daughter had drunk it. FML

Using a five year old as a scapegoat, that's pretty low.

Recovering alcoholics have been known to relapse several times. Be supportive. She's going to need your help to keep her back on track.

You deserve it you ass. She's your wife you don't go put this shit on an FML site you help her cope and get through this process WITH HER instead of judging her. You're pathetic.

You are retarded. my dad is an alcoholic and I really don't have anyone to talk to about it. This site is at least a confidential way to vent a little bit of the frustration that can build up in this situation. Alcoholism is not only destructive to the addict, but harmful and embarrassing for the rest of the family. Think before you speak.

So where is his support then? Everyone needs to vent, he used this as an out. Obviously she has her out.

75, no one deserves to have their spouse blame their five year old for something like that. The wife is pathetic. I don't care how bad your problems are, you never blame a child for something you did. That's low. The OP should leave her for the kid's sake, at least until she can get the help she needs and prove she isn't going to relapse.

First of all, op, you should know that alcoholics run the risk or relapse at any time, no matter what their level of sobriety. Second, she has to want to stop drinking. If she's only stopping because you're trying to make her, it won't work. She'll find a way to do it if she can, as long as she wants to continue drinking. Let her know you support her recovery, but know that if it doesn't take, you'll have to be the responsible parent, and possibly, a single parent. Trust me, I grew up with this situation.
