Yes, good advice here.
Build your own recovery and support system.
See if he will go to AA but the way Hammer said--as info, not ultimatum.

I don't think I would tell him about maybe leaving.
You are "trapped" as you say because of the baby and you don't
know how he will react. Maybe fine, but what if he gets angry
and blocks you? If you can't move out and make a living there,
what next if you can't go home to country of origin?

I would bide my time, seek support, consult lawyer if possible but
please note that confidentiality may not be as "safe" on a small island
where often everyone knows each other--more like a small town.
If it is a big place, go to someone outside your immediate area.

I think you are doing very well and congrats on your baby girl
