I'm so glad you're considering therapy. And please let me encourage you to spend a little time finding one now, and making that first appointment, even if it is not until January. When you are a new client, it can sometimes take time to get in to see someone.
You might mention to your husband that (a) counselors do not prescribe medicine, and (b) psychiatrists only work WITH their patients to decide a course of action. Not against their wishes. But I am guessing that he actually does know this, and is just trying every way he can to avoid seeking help.
You might be interested in this website. Note the links down the side for Message Boards and Partner Q&A:

And this is a direct link to the message boards. I would first read the Welcome New Members post, and then scroll down to the Partners In Recovery post to start with.
Best of luck to you, SilverGirl. You take care of you, and later on you'll know what you want regarding the rest.
