If you had that power, addicts would be knocking down your door trying to get "the magic stuff" off you. Whether he truly believes this or whether he is trying to manipulate you doesn't matter. You simply do not control other people's actions and feelings.

Ha. This is pure B.S. Talk to his sponsor if you need confirmation of said B.S.

No. You know it won't.

No, his choices, his responsibility.
You are NOT there with a gun to his head, making him drink or not drink. Every moment he is walking towards the fridge, opening it, taking out a beer, swallowing, he is making a choice. You do not control this.

It is not your responsibility to "get him through Christmas". He can choose to do that for himself or not.
Please don't take this poison apple he is offering you.
