Yes, I get it and I believe that too. Unfortunately his rock bottom appears to be death and it's so very hard to watch. My father was an alcoholic and that's basically what killed him.

I think we were enabling him for awhile (providing him with a home to get his act together, which was working and he was getting back on his feet, until he started to drink again.) I know I'm not enabling him anymore as he lives somewhere else, I won't communicate or see him while he's high/drunk, I never bought his booze or gave him money but I do pray he finds some peace in his life. Honestly, I miss my friend and my husband misses his old buddy, but his addictions have taken that person away from us and unfortunately, I keep thinking the old him will return. (sad).
