I know you did it out of goodness of your heart but he is a grown man with alcohol and gambling addiction ( he needs to drink as a pain relief?). You can't really help him by buying drinks or giving money. He needs treatment and it is to him to get it not you

I tried to help him by giving him a job! Not the alcohol of course. The towels were a Christmas gift. I don't go around buying booze for random man. He was a good friend of mine, I didn't say that before. We were in a sort of relationship. I have a lot of extra money from my check because I get my housing partially paid for. I want to quit drinking and know I can't if he is in the picture. I know my money is for me and it's going to stay that way now without him. Thanks for your advice!
