If he has ever attended AA - you could ask - Is that your side of the street? If he hasn't, it will probably have zero impact.
Then again, perhaps nothing will, but if you stick to whatever you decide he might get tired of his attempts to control you, one can hope.
He did go to AA for a couple of months but he had selective recovery. Not sure what the street reference is, though somebody else on her mentioned it sounded like my ex wanted to walk both sides of the street.
It's weird he's quoted the serenity prayer, once when was pretty much pleading me to let him drink around the kids.. And me. (when he wanted to get back with me). And the second time when he told me he'd gone back to his enabler. His use of the prayer was completely out of context with our 'shared' reality. His entire perspective is so warped right now.. Its like he's had a head injury. I am genuinely worried about his thinking.. More for the kids. He feels dead to me now... That man I married.
