Thanks for sharing. I am so sorry you are going through all this. It is very difficult. You are in a good and safe place here and you can share and ask anything you need.
First, I am glad you are in therapy. Second, attending Al-Anon meetings will be a great help to you!
Second, if he does not want to get help, no one can force him. Addicts often stumble many times before they get it right, but they have to be willing to try.
Third, if he is abusive to you in ANY way, you do have the right to set up safe boundaries for yourself. It IS okay to tell him to get help and go to meetings or you will leave. Conditions for your own safety are perfectly acceptable.
I know it is all very confusing. I can't tell you enough how much Al-Anon will help you. Please look online and find a group near you. Your counselor may have a meeting list also.
In the meantime, it is good to do some reading and sharing.
Praying things will get better!
