Do they just think it's not a problem? And if you know it IS a problem, why drink? It's like putting your hand into a fire. Ow, that fire hurts, but maybe THIS time it won't burn me?
I am not trying to be ignorant. I just don't understand that, if you know you are a bad drunk, why drink?

This is part of the answer. As hard as it is, you'll have to separate yourself from situations where you normally would have had a drink.
Spend more time with your wife on mutual interests, instead of beers with friends. For work functions, treat them as such-no alcohol when working!
Maybe tape a picture of her to your wallet to remind you when you go to pay for that drink......
If you explain to your
real friends that you want to control/stop this problem, the
real ones will support you and help you, the others you should avoid-they are part of the problem!!!!
It definetly won't be easy, but if you really want to fix the problem, you will have to work at it.
Good luck
