Kath, I feel your pain, I put my family through some very trying times. Unfortunatly you can lead a camel to water but you can't make him drink. He has to be the one that wants to do it. I hate to sound so negative but unless he wants to do it for himself there really isn't much you can do. He has to do it for himself and the saddest thing is, if that means hitting rock bottom, he might have to go there and learn the really hard way. I wish you and your family all the best. Print this out and show it to him. I also don't want you to stop being supportive but it's just a really crappy situation, just knowing that you're them for him is a very good start, but he has to do it for himself. Peace Kath and good luck
