HI douglas,
An alcoholic is by definition a destroyer of human relationships.
There s not much you can do, if he is not willing to admit he has an alcohol problem and accept treatment.
The best that I can offer is to give you an understanding what makes an alcoholic and why he is an alcoholic. Please read:

Alcoholism (Addiction) is a Treatable Disease at:

Drug Addiction is a Nutritional Disorder at:

The first step in treatment is going on a hypoglycemic diet. If problems persist, it is best to consult a Nutritional Doctor, Clinical Nutritionist or a Nutritional Psychologist.
