Sad story
We went to one marriage counseling session after she filed. She did say I had to quit drinking. The counselor asked me if there was anything about her I wanted her to work on. I said a couple things as well. She literally said she wouldn't change, there was nothing she needed to change, she wouldn't even consider working on those things. The counselor flat out said to not bother, it wouldn't work.

The tale of alcoholism has no shortage of sad stories, whichever side of the fence you were on.

Good luck to you.
