When couples face different recovery paths after shared sobriety

My wife and I both quit drinking together three years ago but lately she's been talking about maybe having wine again socially and I'm realizing our sobriety was more intertwined than I understood. I don't want to control her choices but I also don't know if I can stay sober if she starts drinking, and that terrifies both of us.

More people experience this than they realize.

What we've seen

Sobriety shared can become sobriety interdependent, revealing how individual freedom and mutual support can exist in tension even within love.
