Nothing about you whatsoever has anything to do with his choice to drink. This is his problem, not yours.

I don’t mind drinking but every single day at all hours ? He’s gonna kill himself and I’m contributing to the problem.

My friend hit the bottle again over Christmas 
idk what i can do for him, i just chapped his door and said hello a couple times, he keeps saying he will stop so i am hoping for him.
Funny thing is he knows it bad for him and he says he wants to stop but the temptation is so great that his desire to drink takes over,
I think i kept him dry for a long time but I’m not around as much these days what with covid and just doing more stuff, he is still a pal though. so i kinda know how you feel.
I don’t understand how his drinking is your fault

It’s not but he’s putting it on me. The more I comment the more he’ll drink. I’m done with him.

He’s a master manipulator. Don’t fall for it! It’s got nothing to do with you

I hope he finds the motivation to change his behavior. It isn’t healthy and addiction can make people do awful things.
If it becomes too much I would take some distance. You have to care about your own mental health too.

His drinking is not your fault. Him saying he will drink more is his way of trying to get you off his back. It’s like when I was trying to talk to my brother about his mental health and he told me he would rather jump off a roof than listen to me… every time i try to help he says something hurtful so i have decided to stop. And hope he will get help on his own…
Don’t beat yourself up. It is up to him to stop. You can show you care but don’t take on his problems
