Did they understand the issues YOU struggle with? Did you go to counseling hoping to get help for him? It's a reason I've heard many people give as to why they came to Al-Anon - to get help for the alcoholic. If that is your only resource, I highly recommend it. I truly believe you will more helpful to both of you if work on becoming healthy yourself first.
