alcoholic H decided he wants D

I wouldn't go out and hire a lawyer, but I would maybe get suggestions from people who have hired one, so that way you get a good recommendation. Try to find one that provides a free consultation. I have to agree that patience is the key.

Have you read Divorce Remedy? If not, I suggest you do.

Your H may find it easier to blame you for his drinking, but the bottom line is he was the one who chose to drink, not you.
We are all responsible for our OWN actions, and not somebody else's.
