I’ve been through something similar. I hope I can help some. First thing is to know yourself. The more emotionally involved you are the less real help you can be. Decide if you are a helper or a supporter. There are limits to what he will let you do to help, don’t make his success your success, or most importantly, his failure your failure. Try to stand outside the problem, be a dispationate observer, make rational decisions about what he needs.
Or maybe you want to be there as a supporter. In that case, just be there, encourage him to follow advise from professionals, but if he resists, accept it and move on. You may walk with him through pain or worse. That’s the lot of a friend.
Unless you are a better man than I was you will tear yourself apart trying to be a supporter AND a savior.
You may PM If you’d like to talk.. I’ll give give you my number.
