AITA for being upset at my wife going back on her word as I become sober?

ESH, but more you than her. The thing is, yeah she broke a promise and that sucks, but she's not the one with the drinking problem. This is something you ultimately have to do alone. No matter what small gestures she can do in order to lend moral support, you are the only one who can control whether or not you stay sober, and you are the one with the drinking problem. Metaphorically speaking, you need to get on your own two legs and walk. Your wife can't carry you, even if she wanted to. And it's unfair to her to put that burden on her. That's like me asking a fit person to go on a diet in order to support me in my weight loss efforts. At best, it would a kind gesture on their part, but ultimately it's empty and unnecessary, and only distracts from the real issue. And if someone did agree to that and I caught them having a cheeseburger, it would be petty of me to get mad about it, promise or no promise.
