If so, it's an old, old story and leads only to what you describe going on right now. Only he can get sober and if he won't start doing it for himself then he's just going to get sicker as time goes on. This guy can't be the only game in town. Why not do yourself (and him) a favor and get off the bus?
wpainterw,
This is something I have really been thinking about..I think I felt "obligated" for some strange reason to try to help him. But I realize this is way out of my hands and was never my responsibility to begin with, and im exhausted trying to live two lives, his and mine. Thank u for this reminding me of this!
