Everybody who allows his drinking is an enabler. If you allow it at your house you are one of them.
The only thing you can do is tell him, if he is going to be at your place he is going to be sober, there are no other options. Let him decide what is more important to him.
I wish you luck for there is no easy answer to your situation.
I feel nothing but regret for the people I hurt as a result of my drinking, because the ones I hurt the most are the ones closest to me. I got lucky, most don't.
I doubt I can be of much help shedding light from his side but feel free to PM me if you want.

I don't spend as much time on OT as I used to, but things like this remind me why I value this place so much.
Posting that took a lot of balls. I really respect you for that.
