Today is day 1 for me. It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever decided. I work in an industry that parties hard. I travel a ton but I see drinking is creating bad habits. I feel depressed, guilty, angry at myself, I make
Bad choices; my wife is sober and the only time we fight is when I’m drunk and being irrational and I want to stop and be proud of myself.

Get on your knees and ask God to keep you sober, at night thank Him. Go to meetings, get a sponsor, call him daily, take direction, work the steps. The rest will fall into place. Relax, God has this. We seek Him and do the footwork. God keeps us sober, we don’t.
Pray. Trust me, been doing this for 25 years a day at a time. It works if you work it.

Welcome! We have all been on day one at one point and sometimes (like myself), had more day ones than we want to admit.
You are here! You are actively reaching out for support and you acknowledge that you are trying… you need to give yourself HUGE kudos for that. Be proud! You have got this!
I am on the “wife” side of what you are encountering…I am sober and my husband def is not. We get in arguments because when he has had way too much to drink he will argue and he somehow believes he is right and what he believes to be true, is. Sometimes he will argue with me about a completely fabricated situation that he vaguely recalls but at the time, he 100% believes it to be real. I hope things get better for you and your wife soon!

Welcome, Wes.
Hope this place can help you as much as it has helped me. I am nearly at 4 years, and the community here has been a big part of me getting to this point. Every struggle you face in this process will only serve to strengthen you, and I guarantee it is worth it.
