friends and family know

I didnt realize that my bf had a problem till 2months after dating. I noticed one day we went out to a club and his behavior was not normal. He just wouldnt stop drinking. He acted like my ex who was an A. But ex was abusive verbally and almost hit me. I just stopped loving him and i needed to get out of the situation. well back to my bf. all night i was thinking does anyone know about this ,his parents, friends -they had too. But i didnt want to say anything. the next night we went out again and his friend came up and asked ..how is he doing on his drinking, at first i just stood their and then i said well he drank about 3 beers and he shaked his head. Then i knew he diffinitly has a problem. The week later his parents came up to me and told me, that they appreciate everything your doing to keep him away from the drink. We all want him to go to AA, and he realizes that he has a problem. WE just dont know what to do next. There is a reason why we are together. I know i became a better person with him, i didnt like myself before i meet him. I was so angry and bitter toward my relationships because of my ex. I didnt feel good about myself anymore. It just traumatized me for awhile. I lost my baby and I felt so sick of myself. And my bf changed all that even though he is an alcoholic. He has told me that he is a better person too. He looks at his drinking differently. Realizes its not good to go on his binges. I dont want things to get worse. I dont want him to end up like my ex and hating the world and abusing me any kind of way.
