I'm so glad you're at PC! Sorry, though, for what brought you here. I know how hard it is to live with a drinker & try not to.

No, you can't change his behavior. You can't change your cravings. But if you're ready to stop drinking, you can do that.

Don't make any drinks.
If he brings you a drink, leave it untouched. The next day, pour it out.
If he becomes unpleasant because of your refusal to drink, leave.

If, knowing him, you sense that he will only become more angry, spend the night with a friend or relative or in a motel. I'd suggest arranging an intervention (AA can explain this) for him.
