    Personally I think you should seek counsel from someone you trust, a pastor, a teacher, or perhaps confide in your wife’s counselor, if she’d allow it.

    Maybe look in to an AA meeting, they may be able to point you in a positive direction.

    This isn’t such a great place to seek advise of that nature IMO

    You may be right.... I came here because of anonymity... but you may be right. I will consider deleting my post.

    Pastor - check / offers prayer, empathy and support but no concrete advice.
    Counselor - check / has built a trusting relationship with my wife and.... for a lack of better wording, believes her over me.

    Thank you for the AA meeting advice. I think I will take it and delete much of my post.

    If there is a Moderator that wants to delete this threat, feel free.

    Yes. I don't doubt that she is. this has gotten ahold of her.

    Excellent, as this means that there is still hope that God can intervene to make sure this gets worked out!

    If your spouse is addicted you should attend Al-Anon meetings ASAP. If a local church hosts one, all the better. Be proactive....

    There is something called AL-ANON for families struggling to deal with alcoholic family members

    alcohol addiction can ruin everything. I guess you can consider online therapy for help.
