You MUST accept that there is little that YOU can do to help him. He, as has
been noted by others here, has to Want help himself. I didn't WANT help
until my wife left me. That woke me up and triggered the desire to seek
help. I got that help via a treatment center and Alcoholics Anonymous that
taught me that I had to work at sobriety. I worked at it and it worked just
fine for 14 years.

Oh yes, my wife and I are happier today than ever.
