Folow your heart. If you truly Love each other, Love will conqor all. He is in recovery. He will always be an alcoholic. Never forget that. Right now it is hard for him to be around someone who drinks, that should get better with time. He will have to adjust if he wants what you both truly want.
You only have one chance in meeting your soulmate. If it happens, do what you must to keep it. I know how devistating it feels to lose your soulmate. I am in the midsts of that now. My heart is shattered and I have no one to blame but myself. Keep the Love in both of your hearts. Love is what makes the world a much happier place.
