This is a terrible disease. There is nothing you can do to help him If he does not want to quitt,  Dont give him money, for that enables him even more. You  can try contacting someone from AA in your area and see what they suggest.. Sometimes they have to hit rock bottom, before they look for help with theire addiction/

Good luck

Never allow him excuses for drinking! Do not be an enabler and give in!

It’s called “Intervention” and can be achieved by attending classes on the subject. Basically, you get the subject into a room filled with people who have observed him “in action”. You start with a loving word or two, explain what you’ve seen them do and end with love, something like that. The group who taught me said they never lost a patient with this method. We should have used it on my sister…...

If he does not think he has a problem,there is nothing you can do for him,when he hits the bottom and believes he needs help,that's when you ask him if he would like to go to an AA Meeting,,and let it go from there..how do i know this,??? my name is Terryfossil,and i am an Alcoholic..>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<..

Or go the hard way for him. Take him to local jail for tour.

Zepeda, I don't think you can help him until he reaches rock bottom and wants to be helped. It's tough to quit drinking, b/c they have withdrawal symptoms, just like a drug addict.

Pray he hits rock bottom soon and hard. Then and only then is there the slightest chance of recovery.

ALANON is a support group for friends and family members of people with alcohol abuse issues.You should be able to find the phone number in your local directory or your local hospital may have the number.God bless and good luck!
