Boyfriend has just stopped drinking

Ive just joined . Dont know where to start. My boyfriend has just got on this forum. I told him to get support for his drinking or get out. I'm not sure I can go on this journey with him. So much has happened to destroy the good bits we shared and they were many. We have drunk together and had 'fun' in our relationship but he has never known when to stop and would drink heavily when he was alone and end up becoming shouty and mad if I complained. A bit scary but never violent. Emotionally unavailable alot of the time. Does that make me an accomplice? I like a glass of wine. Do I have to now stop drinking to support him ? I think I drink more.now.to cope.with the feelings he arouses in me
I don't know what to expect in this process. He's not long moved in. My kids have been affected. My life's been turned upside down. He's recognised there's a problem and wants to stop. I don't know if there's any hope. I would.like to be supportive and I do care for him
