Hard Decisions

My husband wants to  get a divorce and says it's over, he asked me to make a choice , either leaving the house or he will leave, I don't think Iam in the right mental state to be able to handle the houses responsibilities right now, so that means I wld have to go to my mothers where my little sis is  an active alcoholic and her friend is also who lives there with her, I just don't know what' the right choice is for me. I do not want to divorce , but he was honest with me and told me Iam being unfair by holding him back from his career dreams due to my alcoholism , which I agree. He went thru this with me in the beginning of our relationship, then I got sober for 4 1/2 ur's and he was happy , and about a year ago I started drinking again and have been  relapsing every month since August 2013, I totally understand why he wants to leave , he doesn't have it in him to go thru all the ******** I put him thru before. But I'm scared , I want to stay sober and not make any bad impulsive mistakes . I just need some good advice

Maybe you could rent a room in a sober house. The rent usually isn't very high. And you would have roommates in recovery, you could go to meetings with. It's a good way to make sober friends. It's also just a transition stage, no signing a long lease. So, maybe if you complete 3-6 months there, your husband might consider taking you back. Good luck.
