Welcome to SR. An alcoholic needs to make the decision for themselves that they want help; no matter how many rehab clinics you ring or hospitals you take him too, his recovery has to start with him. You say he was very sick, but he wasn't too sick to go and buy more alcohol was he? You cannot save him, and the sooner you realise that, the better for you. Have you tried Al-Anon? There you will meet people in the same situation as yourself who will understand how you are feeling, and they will share with you how they deal with it. Your bf will only stop when the consequences of his drinking become to painful for him, not when they become too painful for you. This is an awful illness and I suggest that you research all the information you can about it, and how we can enable the alcoholic and help the disease to progress if we run about cushioning the blows and saving them from the consequences of their behaviour. Binge drinking just means that there are periods of non-drinking and then an almighty binge - as you have experienced. It is alcoholism, plain and simple, whether he binge drinks or drinks daily - it is causing problems therefore it is a problem. So concentrate your research on alcoholism and how it affects those around it, not just the drinker. Prayers and hugs to you.
