Please give me some positive tips on how to help him get through this.
I have the same question but I have found there isn't much you can do...sadly. I think not doing anything is harder than doing something which is why so many of us enable in the first place I'd guess.
My gut instinct is to ask the addict how you can be supportive. At least I do this in other situations. I'm not sure if it will work with an addict cause they are known for lying. I guess it won't hurt to ask though and if there is something that doesn't involve enabling that they need from you then you could decide if you feel comfortable doing it.
