I’m actually reading this - https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0965967212/ref=dbs_a_w_dp_0965967212

and have just finished this https://www.amazon.com/Theres-More-Quitting-Drinking-Than/dp/0965967204

Both written by Dr Paul O who originally came up with this.
So timely for me. Thanks for sharing.

Oh nothing external ever makes us angry, it's always an inside job.

A guy in AA told me this: when you quit you are breaking up with a loved one (alcohol) as real as any deep relationship, it was there for you, it understood you, you could count on it. Now you're alone, betrayed and scared that you don't have it. I drank for over 20 years, I went into a deep depression and raging anger for the first 6 months of sobriety. It subsides, and even better, you begin to get to the root of the anger when you work the steps with a sponsor.

Someone mentioned Al-Anon for the wife, that sounds like a good idea to me. You keep going to meetings and don't drink. There is a wonderful book by Dr. Paul - long time AA and self-confessed anger-junkie - called You Can't Make Me Angry that I highly recommend.

Good luck to you - don't leave before the miracle happens.
