I hate to say this but it is true. I wish my wife had left me years ago - I am now in recovery but the damage I've done to her is massive. I'm undergoing profound personal changes but it took me years to accept and take responsibility for my disease.
Breaking up is hard to do, but the pain you will go through now is nothing compared to the long term torture you will otherwise be signing yourself up for.
You could try an ultimatum to try AA or you will walk, but as others have said nothing really works until HE is ready to face his problem and take action.
