I'd like to add that even if he does stops drinking, that is not the same as entering recovery. My father, as I said, upped and quit drinking one day (after he fell and broke his ankle walking out of abr) and never drank again (20+ years til he died). BUT he never entered recovery and retained many of the same behaviors he exhibited while an active alcoholic.
