Mama,
You have come to the right place for support and help. We have all lived with an A and it is not easy. What you will learn in these walls is that you can't get the A to stop drinking. Only when he is ready will he be willing to commit to working a program and getting sober. With that said, what you can do is work on yourself. Read the forums, go to open AA meetings, hit an alanon meeting. Educate yourself to the disease of alcoholism.
Its not fun but the more you learn the more it will help you to find serenity with your life. That is what we are all looking for in our life, loving an addict.
Keep coming back and doing your home work. Good luck
