Your hands are not tied. You are walking in a different direction...not walking away. Your hopes and prayers are saying you would like to see him stop.
Walking away "in some siuations" can be the best action a person can take for the alcoholic or addict.
Don't think of it as walking away, think of it as changing the direction you were walking in. He can seek answers and find his recovery and at that time he could look to catch up in the direction you are going.
You are making choices for you. He needs make his own choices for himself.
