Advice needed

My long term partner and I have moved to a new country. Partner has always liked to drink, and often goes out with his friends alone. He always drinks to get drunk. Since moving a couple of weeks ago it has become worse, he doesn't drink everyday but when he does he gets really mean and has started gambling too. He is always regretful the next morning and says he needs to go home to sort himself out. I want him to stay so He looked up AA meetings in our new city but that's as far as it got. He was sober for a week but this happened again and he ended up spending lots of money at the casino. Moving has always been something I've wanted to do, and he moved for me, and I think it's too much for him. I do not want to go home though. Should I ask him to go home, or should I try to see if it gets better? I don't think he can quit alcohol all together because it is a big part of his social life.
