Denial is part of the disease ...
Its the reason addicts do not believe what they are being told & rarely, if ever, voluntarily check themself into a drug rehab facility ...
Call the police &/or put him out of the house ...
Both are tough decisions b/c they pull on the heart strings ...
However, if he is not facing major consequences he is free to continue using & will take the entire family w/him ...
I'm sorry about your predicament, but walking on eggshells around him is
enabling ---(1st link below is definition) ...
I also suggest you & your family look into Nar-Anon for support as well as educating yourselves in living w/an addict ... (2nd link below)
It might help one or all of you gain the strength & understanding to do what is necessary for him to confront the natural consequences of his behavior ...
Blessings ...
