CRoy,
So glad you are here. There are many folks here who ask the same question and the answer you will see over and over, is that there is nothing you can do to help him, he has to help himself. What you can do for yourself is learn everything possible about alcoholism and what co-dependence is. Most of us here are here because we have a loved on who is a alcoholic and we are co-dependent.
There are many wise and thougthful folks as well as great and useful posts. I wish you luck on your journey. You are not alone in your struggles.
Peace,
Petunia
