You're not done till you're done. You've not had enough till you've had enough. Nothing any of us say will change that. Just like nothing you can say or do will change when or if he's had enough of drinking. When the pain of staying the same becomes greater than the fear of changing--that's when we change. And not a moment sooner.

But, don't kid yourself that walking away is the easy thing to do. It's not. And you already know that from experience. Walking away is hard, and the longer you stay, the harder it gets. Deluding yourself into believing things will get better is the easy thing to do.
