Welcome, dorothy!
It has already been said....but, I will say it again...You didn't cause it; You can't control it; and, you can't cure it. That is known as the 3 Cs.

Love isn't enough to fix it, either. If it was...none of us would be on this forum...lol.
He has an illness that only he can deal with. He needs to be in treatment and will have to work very hard to do that.
Actually, if he shakes when he isn't drinking....he will need to be detoxified under supervision in order to quit without going into serious withdrawl...like DTs and withdrawl seizures, etc.

You are not wrong.....and, this environment amounts to abuse. Living in abuse will not help you or him.

If he is unwilling to get help and really work on recovering....then, it may be best for you to get away from the situation. You may have to care from afar.

Are you totally dependent on his income for support?
