"I finally did get desperate enough when I ran out of good ideas on getting him sober."
I'm lost. As a gratefully recovering alcoholic with 15 years of continuous sobriety, meeting attendance and sponsorship, I am at a loss as to whatever made you even think anyone can 'get' somebody sober. Everything you do for an active alcoholic, rides, money, food etc. is called 'enabling' and prohibits the alcoholic from getting sober.
He must hit rock bottom on his own. Seek help on his own. Enabling him just prolongs the downward spiral. It's a great disservice.
Next, 'I finally did get desperate enough...' For what? Going to AlAnon? I know nothing of AlAnon. All I know is, if someone you love needs recovery, then we're, AA, ready to help.
'I felt very comfortable in AA and really believed AA could solve this problem.' What problem? To learn to stop enabling so he can get sober?
