Wife...most people that I have known, who were with an alcoholic in denial, tried over and over to "enlighten" and "educate" by the presentation of books, articles, programs, movies, discussions, brochures, letters, etc......all to no avail. The denial is stronger than we are, in this respect. Our efforts seem to make them all the more resentful and unwilling to receive "information". It causes them to close their mind even tighter.

This is why and because their journey to recovery is theirs, alone. "When the student is ready (READY) the teacher will come." You will need to put his recovery on his shoulders...and, let the Universe do the work....and take the burden of this work off y our own shoulders.
