Tipper so sad that you have found yourself here again, but I am not really convinced that the last year with your h was the greatest for you. If you are home alone, worried while your h is out drinking is that the marriage YOU want to be in?
If it's not, then maybe this is all happening for a reason. We can't control what another does, but we can control how we react, our own life, and to some degree our destiny in life.
You don't have to decide today about taking your h back, all you need to do today is heal yourself, get strong, feel good about all that you have done for your marriage and then later on you can think about next steps.
I come from a family of alcoholics myself and it's really why I distanced my self from them years ago. I just didn't want that in my life. People can change though, but they have to want it not you want it for them.
Give it over to God and let him guide and direct your life. I have found that to be the most rewarding part of this journey.
God Bless!
