Don't want to get divorced but don't know what to do

I'm tired of my husband having severe alcohol use disorder and not getting treatment for it. We're living apart currently and he's not doing anything to try to get into treatment. I told myself that if he's not in treatment by the end of next week (this will have given him 2 months to get into a treatment program), I would consider divorce. I don't want to get divorced though. Has anyone had experience staying in a marriage where you don't live together?

Don't want to divorce

I set a boundary that I won't live with someone who has an active addiction and is not getting help for it. So my husband and I are living apart for now. He's had two months since he left to get into treatment. I'm giving him another week but after that week I told myself I would consider divorce. I don't want to get divorced though. I think I need to focus on myself and healing and let him focus on himself. And we'll just live apart for now.

Does anyone have advice on staying in an unsatisfying marriage with someone who has alcohol use disorder?
