Cinderella: Awful what you are having to deal with because of your Prince’s drinking I have also been married a long time (almost 50 years). Since you haven’t left yet, maybe there is a way for you to disengage/detach/retreat from him and create a separate life for yourself while living there with him. Whatever that means for you, for example, involve yourself in activities that do not include him. Classes, groups, trips, gardening projects, etc. Separate rooms might also provide a better quality of life for you. Decorate and furnish your room(s) for you, the way you want.
