When he drinks I remove myself from the situation. I can't make the diagnosis of alcoholic, only he can do that and only he can sober up or get help.
Take Care of yourself. ♥

I think I went to Alanon when I was young a couple of times. I know I shouldn't take it personally. But it bothers me. I just really don't want him in my house at this point. It's obvious that he's not going to quit. But he literally has no where else to go. He's an hour and a half from his hometown now, but he doesn't even have anywhere to go there if I get him back out there. I'm really in a pickle now. I have some guilt issues, so it's hard for me to just give him the boot.
