I'm not sure where, but in reading through old posts on here, I noted that someone commented that "it wasn't that easy to get rid of an alcoholic". And I have to say I've found that to be true - my AH seems like he hates me, but when I bring up the idea of separation or divorce, he adamantly refuses and says "he won't leave me, he loves me, I'm the best thing that ever happened to him". So don't be sure this is a "one shot" deal.
