I really don't mean to sound cold or uncaring with this question, so I hope it isn't taken that way, but...is your husband maybe so controlling because of your alcoholism? It's hard to really give much advice on that part of your post with the little information you've given.
To the other part...I'm not gonna say "Hey, it's ok, it was just one drink." It's not ok, in your situation, and you know that. I will say, you CAN overcome this. Others have, so can you. Use every available resource to help you; AA, supportive family, church, prayer, whatever you've got that you can lean on for strength, accountability, and encouragement, utilize it.
I'll keep you in my prayers.

Okay, start with Thanking God for what is now in your life and recieve the peace of God while in the midst of this that is beyond understanding to all and especially to yuor controlling Husband
If you do this you will recieve peace and do waht God needs for you to do. Not your Husband or anyone else here on earth
I am an ex-alcoholic and druggie myself and I gave it up because it just was not beneficial to me or for me no matter what my circumstances were
All things are permissable, just not all things are beneficial. So guess what you get to decide waht is and waht is not benmeficial for you and do accordingly. For God has called us all to peace. So listen to that real small voice in yuor heart where you serve God perfectly and do as you are led to do.
It might be praises and worship witha great Joy that will thwart the enemy and the enemy will not know what to do.
As for me I have a story in this when a man approched me with a gun threateniing to shoot me, and I looked at him and said praise the Lord Iget to go home to heaven and you get to go to Jail for killing me.
The man left bewildered and came back about a half hour later and asked me to pray for him and I said alrerady done.
Sister go to God as I know you have already, but this time ask for God's words to be put through you as in waht to do and or say everytime that this terrible situation comes up between your Husband and you. Now God might say get ut for awhile do you have a place to go.
There are shelters available if the abuse has gone to physical as well as mental. And it is not your fault. There is no excuse for a man to hit a woman ever it takes much more courage to walk away than to hit anyone.
I know that a drink is no more than an escape a temporary one at that, and if you are going to have to continue in that then get help from a shelter or a group.
Love you Sister this is the best I can help for encouragement
I can tell you this as well, when one is not feared truly from their Spirit of God the enemy can't perform. the enemy always thrives on fear and fear empoweres the enemy
If you do this you will recieve peace and do waht God needs for you to do. Not your Husband or anyone else here on earth

It's best that we not control one another. This is not the right spirit, we should have toward one another. We should share and love and talk to the Lord about our needs. God can work inside of a person, and can actually make a change, when they themselves can't. My advice is to drop this right away because it is not pleasing to the Lord, and pray about everything that concerns you. Cast your cares upon him....he cares for you!
