Sorry I didn't mention that he does not drink anymore. To me, you and anyone else the rational thing that 'normal' people would think of is to see a counselor or do X or Y or Z. However he has no money and AFAIK know insurance that could get him to a therapist/counselor at a minimum. So I try to think of all these things that could help without saying it out loud and then don't say much of advice when I realize the things that are not possible.
Obviously to post such a thread indicates its hard for all involved but he only talks about one thing and so its hard for both of us.
I think I understand.
Where are you guys located? There should be services available to him at little to no cost if he's in bad shape financially. If you are in Minnesota or New England, no worries. If you are in choice areas of The South, say Louisiana or Arkansas, I agree there might not be much to choose from.
PM if you don't want to post it openly, depending on where you are I might be able to pass along something that could help.
