So I met my wife when I was sober

So I met my wife when I was sober . I had just gotten DUI and had to stay sober for 6 months plus turned into a year or so but she met this amazing person who was actually sober. Long story short I finished my dui probation. got into drinking again caused many problems for my self and 6-7 year later I'm fighting to hold my relationship together all of this cause of drinking. She thinks I'm just POS now cause all the screw ups but she doesnt know I actually went through alcoholism I didn't even know I had this problem until I looked at all the problems from helicopter view. So I'm quitting now but she doesn't really care anymore which makes me weak and want to drink so I can stop not care anymore . Anyone went through something similar?

Yes but I at some point accept that I did cause the problem, I had to forgive her and myself and most importantly I had to do the work to change who I was to insure I wouldn’t repeat the cycle. Living a program of recovery is the only thing we can do to gain the trust back from the people we love.

Yeah I just need to stay strong and sober and forget drinking it's hard but I'm already doing it cause it's only way I'll get her back

But also keep in mind if your doing this for her it’s not going too work you have too do it for yourself firstly because you need this more than anyone but just keep coming and trust the process
