Husband Drinking Excessively - 37 Weeks Pregnant

Since I’ve gotten pregnant, my husband has been drinking alcohol so much. We always enjoyed drinking together and when I got pregnant he said he would quit. That didn’t happen. I am fine with him having 1-3 beers a night, but lately it seems like it’s about 10. The second half of my pregnancy, he started getting out of control to the point he has gained a ton of weight and had to start blood pressure medication. He also has a major snoring problem now which is affecting our marriage. Nothing seems to be a wake up call to him. I’ve told him it’s scaring me and I need him to stop and he either goes silent or just says okay but nothing changes. I am now 37 weeks and if I were to go to labor at night, I wouldn’t even feel safe with him driving me to the hospital. My dad was an alcoholic and recently died of a heart attack and I’m just petrified for when the baby comes. I’m praying seeing his son will help him change, but I know that sounds naive. Thanks for letting me vent 😕
