How do you just sit and watch them destroy themselves?

I've been reading the posts for months and I still am having trouble ..... I want to leave this misery, but how can I leave my home (he won't go) knowing he is going to die? I have been married for 30 years my boys are grown and I still can't make myself call it quits... I know he is killing himself with alcohol..... is there a way to make them go into rehab? If I leave and he dies can I ever forgive myself? He hates his drinking and has quit a number of times but always goes back to it, and each time it's worse than before..... sorry for the rambling but I am so scared.... alanon has helped some but I am still lost.... thanks for listening............
