I would always say whatever was convenient for me when I was drinking or whatever... the last thing an addict wants to hear is heavy duty stuff, the kind of things one such as myself is using to escape from. He won't do the right thing for anyone but himself (based on my own thought train when I was inebriated.)
Hate to say it but move on, only you can take care of yourself in this regard and as cold as it sounds, he is not responsible for your feelings; only you can manage your emotions and you should by simply walking away for good. I lost all respect for some of the people in my life who never did but should have, for their own good.
