Please believe that.
As difficult as it is to come to terms with, he has done this by himself.
Alcoholism is an illness, yes, I believe that, but he could choose to stop it.
You can't stop it for him, and you never could have.
I'm so sorry you're going through this and having to see how he is right now, but none of it is your fault, and nothing you did could change it.
