Unhappy Did I do the right thing?

Hi, this is my first time posting. My boyfriend of over 4 years is an alcoholic. I love him more than words can say. He just fell off the wagon after 6 months. The last 3 days he has been gone all day and never even came home 2 nights. This, by the way is extremely unlike him. I realized last night that the feeling of not knowing where he is, when he will come home, or will he come home feels much the same as not being with him[we broke up for a short time' He came home this morning as though nothing was wrong with passing out at someone's home...not once did he call me from 12:30 pm yesterday. All his friends tell me I am right, I am not just causing drama for nothing, as he feels i do. i have always fought with him when he drinks.and breaks promises, I'm wondering now if that is the right thing to do. I told him this morning that didn't think i could take another day like the past three. Asked him to quit today or he needed to leave...he did reluctantly..told me he loves me and wants to be with me [same feelings true for me'.but is not ready to quit again yet. I have spent my day crying like a baby cause I feel like I can't breathe without him. My question is...was this a stupid move [I want him back] should I continue to be ther for him even though it kills me to see him killing himself. His doc told him to quit drinking because his blood pressure s very high and he might have a stroke. He, by the way is only 22 . Please someone tell me. what do the experts recomend what I did or should I be there and remain silent?Sorry this is so long I have been dying to find out if i was right or wrong....I'm dying inside...
