Has my detachment backfired? would rescuing him out of drinking debt and falling on the floor like a doormat would have made it better?

Sunshine, ((((hugs))))

Go ahead and rush to Al-anon but do it because you want to get better.

And no, your detachment hasn't backfired. If he is drinking he is still an active alcoholic and nothing has changed.

Take time to work your recovery and don't worry about him. You have to follow your own path and he will follow his. Just looks like those paths are starting to go in separate directions.
