Nobody had mentioned the positive: he's not driving. If he has a car and drives it, then there are a whole lot worse problems.

Take him to an AA meeting. Get him a sponsor.

It's not your problem, but he IS your neighbor. If you can stand to help.

Ice water.

Seriously.

Open the door and give him an involuntary ice bucket challenge.

TBH he's probably not long for this world anyway if he's as bad off as OP indicates.

Have him cited for trespassing

This. Call the cops, have them come out and formally report to him that he isn't allowed on your property. Every time after that he will be taken to jail if he comes back. No way would I put up with that shite.

It's a nice neighborhood, but my lady neighbor has been seeing this guy a few years. She used to drink too, but she got clean a while back and her man didn't so here I am.


Hope you get asked to the intervention. Maybe they'll describe you as an enabler since you are the one neighbor that didn't call the cops.

When you are dealing with a drunk or beggar, etc, the key is to make them think you are in a worse or just as bad as situation as they are.. Seriously, this is a method I even tested.

Catch this guy when he isn't blitzed out of his mind... Like first thing in the morning, when he first starts drinking or something... Go over there and just be like "dude, look, why do you keep asking me for money? I am drowning in debt and I need every last nickel I can find and you keep asking me for money. I can't fix my own fricking problems and you want me to help you?".. Appear kind of agitated and just walk off after.

Sometimes you have to use "unorthodox" ways to handle shite.

Tell him you no longer deal in cash, and pay everything by phone or card

True, but it's likely only because his gf takes their only car to work.

If that’s what you have living next to you, a change of location is in order. My next door neighbor asked me for cold coke one day.
She’s a classy mom who is also cute.

How about having a senile old man who comes over every day looking to get money for cigarettes. His wife cut him off. I bought a carton and gave him one every time he asked. Well now it's every day. The worst is he's 90 something and has no motor control, so he bangs on the door flat palm every time.

You're a nice person.

Nice people get themselves into some deep sh!t sometimes.

Hell, at 90 his wife should just leave that man alone and let him Smoke. Maybe she can. Reimburse you. ?

If you want to get rid of the problem for good, you need to give him enough money to push that fragile health over the edge. Probably wouldn’t take more than $100 at once, but make sure he’s into something stronger than beer.

Call the cops and trespass him, if he comes back have him arrested and let her deal with it.
