Marie:
I'm currently struggling with giving up alcohol, or at least limiting it to a glass of wine with dinner, but then I'm probably in denial if I do that, aren't I? ;) This is because I, too, feel it's "helping to destroy my life." I don't know if I'm an alcoholic, but I'm still drinking, even though I really want to "heal" and it's interferring with my medication. So I understand the struggle, and say "Kudos to you" for quitting all summer!!
I think Dreamer's advice is unfortunately the most sound. I don't know about giving an ultimatum - only you could decide that. Do you think he needs to seek professional help as well (a pdoc or such)?
