Listen to Rick V. He speaks the truth. I have a number of alcoholic friends / people in my life. The best recovery was from the fellow who had it worst. His parents - now deceased drew a line on his drinking. He was homeless and begged them to stay in his house. They declined as he wasn't sober. He slept in his MGB in their driveway in Wintertime. He finally found bottom and has been sober for about a decade. I think Rick V hits the nail on the head that something so traumatic has to happen that it keeps them sober.

Best of luck. This is a horrible and difficult situation. My hat is off to you for your generosity. I don't know if I would do this.
