I told him I'd divorce him if he continues

I finally got the nerve to tell my AH that if he continues to drink I'm divorcing him. I told him when he had not had a drink yet that day. I think that hit him like a ton of bricks. I guess he never thought I'd consider that. We've been together forever, married nearly 30 years. But I didn't say it to scare him or threaten him, it's the truth - I'm sure that's what scared him. He freaked out for a few days...and for now he's not drinking.
I never imagined I'd ever consider that choice. I can't imagine my life without him and our family together. But I can and I will do it to save my sanity - he knows I am serious.
I just wanted to share that with you - lots of you have been through this before. It is extremely stressful - staying or breaking up!! Either way!
