say he loves his children but excuses himself by going to buy them cereal at 7 am and also buys his beer. With 1 beer and he can't quite coordinate and says at end of day he is tired because he work a lot, which he did nothing at all just back and forth from the job site going to the nearest store to take a leak and jugs down a beer, list can go on and on... wife left him because of his drinking, his father has helped him so much till finally told him to leave the house because he has no respect for them. etc.etc.

Worried, you are not going to like what I have to say. This is tough love talking. YOU can't do anything. Your subject is going to have to help himself. He will have to get to the very bottom probably, and even then may slip a time or two.
How do I know? I am the child of a severe alcoholic who died of liver disease from alcoholism. He would not get help either. Your alcoholic's wife did the right thing. He will tell you so himself. Alcoholism is a horrible disease, and many times AA doesn't even help. Dear worried, I wish peace in your heart and mind. Your alcoholic is going to have to save himself or self destruct. I am sorry for you. Many AA programs have a family support. You should check it out. You have my prayers and thoughts. Seriously. Nana

i didnt' even read the paragraph.... i don't need to hear all the gory details cuz i have lived through it.
alchoholics are worthless pieces of crap taking up my oxygen and making my life shorter.
when he becomes a productive member of society, then maybe he will be worth asking a question about.

to do nothing. there's nothing you or any one else can do to help him.i would stay as far away from this man as you can get. if a man want change for his wife or children then he sure want change for you. you can not help some one that does not want help. TRUST ME ON THIS ONE. the more you try to help him the more you become his enabler

he needs to ask for help from his friends and family. His kids need to tell him what his drinking does to them. that was the tear jerker moment for my step mom!
