I went cold turkey and the first week felt like a nightmare. I know everyone is different so a multitude of options is very good. Props to you for being a supportive wife. My wife helped me through my addiction immensely and I’ll never be able to repay her for the amount of support she gave me. I’m 2.5 years sober now and feeling great.
I try to find ways to sho my thanks to her everyday and our marriage is significantly better because of me overcoming my urge to drink.
(Used to be 8-12 beers on work nights, drink until blackout on weekends)
