Re: new here and lost!
Al-anon would be my first choice for you, and a good place to start. I would like to say that you made a mistake, that does not mean you are not worthy of love and respect from your husband. He has a disease, an illness, you can not fix that. He has got to want to get help and you have some tough choices to make. You could both use some separate and marriage councelling but that is only if you both want to. Something has got to change because I am sure you are not happy and neither is he. If he doesn't seek help, you need to protect yourself and seek help in dealing with this issue with someone qualified to help you. It is probably not fair for the kids to be living in a household with an alcoholic. I've been there and I knew at the age of 12 my mom was an alcoholic. It was not easy. My heart goes out to you and your family.
