Since you want to hear from alcoholics, I'll give my opinion.

Sounds to me that he needs a helping hand right now. No home, no friends, no girl, no dog, no $$$, and soon to be with no hope. If he loses hope, he loses all. He'll become content with his bottom as long as he has a bottle of booze. He's an alcoholic who is possessed by booze. It's all that matters to him right now and from what you are saying this is how I see it.

There are no pat answers to situations like this. Some people are too far gone to reason with because their brains are wet. Others might find a glimmer of hope through an intervention of some sort. I think your idea of calling his sponsor is a good idea if you know the whereabouts of the said parties. It just might work.

Good luck and God Bless.
