I'm not sure I can add anything to what Dee said. I've seen people come to meetings sauced myself.

But - you have to set your boundaries and stick to them. You need to take care of yourself, or you won't be any good to him when he's ready to accept your help.

Quick question. Answer (to yourself is fine) but don't think about it. Just answer.

What do you like to do?

The addict will have no problem answering that question. The family member of the addict can't. They can tell you what the *addict* likes to do for fun, but not themselve.

Put some focus back on yourself.
