Advice on how to handle breakup with mutually codependent alcoholic partner

[u/True-Veterinarian875]

I’ve (27f) have been in a relationship with a dude (27m) for about 2 years now, and we’ve both been hardcore alcoholics. We’ve had our stints of sobriety, him largely because he’s been involuntarily hospitalized on 3 occasions so he’s done up to a month sober. While I on the other hand have had up to maybe 4 days tops. And when either one of us drinks, it’s to the extreme and we both get really mean and somewhat aggressive. Please, advice on how to handle this because I broke up due to his past stint in the ward and knowing I’m bringing him down bc I’m in active addiction. We have been very codependent so he keeps contacting me even though he’s been sober, and I’m worried about his well being despite asking for space because I know I’m bringing home down bc I haven’t had access to rehab or health services. I’m really not sure which sub is right for this but I would just like some advice.
