Sorry to hear that and I know how you feel. I was married to an alcoholic and it is sometimes very hard to deal with. If your spouse goes to aa meetings then you could also go along. Ihave attended several before with my ex. As for internet sites, here are a few that have helped me...

Hope these will help you.
Good Luck

despite what someone here said, there IS hope for an alcoholic, and for your relationship (i am a recovering alcoholic/addict myself)
if you are looking for some support for YOU (i think thats what you are asking) then you can look up alanon in the phonebook, and calling that number will help you get some info on groups in your area.. im not sure if they have online meetings..
alanon will provide some help for you... if your husband is interested in getting some info about recovery support groups (AA) then he can look up alcoholics anonymous in the phonebook and central office will answer any questions, tell you where you can get literature about aa, tell you where local meetings are, and if he wants they can even arrange for some people in the program to meet up with your husband (at your home, at a meeting, at a coffeeshop, wherever)...
there IS hope
goodluck =)

AA and Al-anon are cases of the cure being worse than the disease. They teach you that you are powerless and that your only hope is that God will heal you day after day after day, because even God can't cure you. Both of those groups can drive a wedge between the two of you that the relationship might not survive.
Here's a group for friends and families of alcoholics:

If your husband is willing to listen, here's some practical tips on dealing with drinking:

Best to you and your husband.

I think you yourself can solve the issue. Talk with him. Occupie his free time slowly. Love him more than the limit. Try to find out why he drinks. Don't be rude.
If you have headache. The solution can't be cut the head off. So the choice is yours..........

Look in yahoo groups, there is a group for everything.
Go online and do a search for AA, I'm sure there are a bunch.

I would advise you to consider, divorce. There is really no more help for an alcoholic, than there is for a dope adict. You may have wasted too much of your life already, why through the rest of it away.
