Maybe you have a parent or friend who could help you out with the $1800? Because you need to get the hell out of there. I was nearly on board with the idea of toughing it out through the end of the lease until I got to the part about him being violent with you. I've known women who stuck with their alky boyfriends, and to a one they've lost themselves in the process, and it was years before they got their feet under themselves again. Get out.

Bringing a third person in wouldn't help much. It'd be a DAMN hard sell, to begin with, and it has the risk of further destabilizing him.

Is there ever a time when he's sober and you can have an actual conversation with him about all this? Because I recommend you do that--and keep the accusations and threats (and "you have to go to AA" is a threat, from his perspective) out of it. Just let him know it's impossible for you to keep living there like that and what you plan to do about it.
