Dying of Cirrhosis & Still Drinking

Thank God for this website!!!! My husband is an alcoholic who drinks every day, and is mean & nasty every day. I've been sober for almost 2 years, and can't stand the alcoholic anymore! My husband has cirrhosis, esophogeal varices, and is losing his mind. He has been hospitalized and has had two surgeries to band blood vessels and his Gastro Dr. has told him he is dying sooner than later if he doesn't stop drinking. He had a brief stint of being sober last summer that only lasted a couple of months. It seems like the more people tell him he is dying the more he drinks. He's like a rebellious teenager. I feel I can't leave because he is dying, but I desperately want to. Has anyone else gone through this, and if so, how long will it be before his liver completely gives out?
