Its not that he means to break his promise, it his disease of addiction and you are a victim. He needs to get himself into treatment for his alcoholism, he needs to be in inpatient so he can work towards recovery, and you need to get in contact with alanon and work out your codependency issues. This will not remedy itself, I guarantee it. You cannot ration the situation into changing and you will NOT be able to change him. Only he can change and he has to do it for himself by getting into treatment. He will relapse and each time he drinks llike this it will get worse, trust me. You both have some issues you need to work out, things won't just change. You can sit there and listen to all eth advice anyone can give you, but seriously if I were you I would take the time and learn a little something about alcholism and addiction, and in your case codependency. I have seen ti a million times.
here is a link to the alanon web site. do yourself a favor and visit it and start the process fo recovery for both of you. Its not just his problem, you both have issues you need to work out. Good luck, you can do it.
