Newbie - Question - detachment

As I am new here and also at Al-Anon I have a question about detachment. I have been trying to practice detachment and have taken some baby steps in the right direction.

My question is: My husband goes back and forth - drinking and stopping. The stopping part is what is scary as he goes cold turkey and has had seizures the last three times. How do I detach from these situations? Watch him have a seizure and say to myself, he has to get help himself and maybe then watch him die in front of me? I read the power post on detachment and it helped clarify, but this particular thing gives me the most anxiety.

Thanks for all that can share a reponse or shed any light to help! cwohio
