Day 1 of a journey
Pierst, Hill has nailed it exactly. People who can have just one or two drinks don't understand our inability to stop at that. IMO you'll have to guard your sobriety no matter what anyone else wants, including your wife. She has to understand the nature of addiction, so you might have to remind here that as Hill said, it's not 1-2 for you, it's 12 (or whatever - but too much). It will be a process for her too. My husband has actually stopped drinking when he's with me. He still has an occasional drink when we're with other people but not when it's just the two of us.
