OP. You need to binge watch Intervention. Watch only the alcoholic episodes. Everybody's story is different but they are all the same.

You think 4 night a week is a "bottom"? You will see with that show how far bottom can be.

Always be there to support him GETTING HELP. Nothing else.

The episode with Bret Cansler (season 7 episode 7 maybe) is an absolute must watch. I would suggest his family watch it as well. It is such an excellent episode. (However i cant even find it online to watch or on Youtube. Can the OT find it?)

Bret was a successful and well loved man with a great wife, career and kids. Just a great guy who was loved by his family and friends.

But then his descent into alcohol began which of course leads to losing things like his wife and kids, his career, his health.... he was at rock bottom.

Some people hate spoiler alerts so I hate to post the ending.

Bret's episode on Intervention is one of the most memorable ones
