The key to this is that NV has to want a better life and be willing to listen, be honest with himself and others, and make hard choices.
Grady,
You should go to an AA meeting early and ask around for some of the old timers. Get them to set you up with a sponser who is willing and able to help (it's a huge commitment and not all are able to handle it). NV has to hit 90 meetings in 90 days. There is no flexibility in this and there are no excuses. You and the sponser must ensure NV hits this goal.
One other thing - NV told you that someone "gave" him a bottle. I assume you realize that's a lie. Drunks will lie/cheat/steal to support their habit of needed. I wish you and him the best in this. It won't be easy, but will be worth it if he gets sober.
