I lost my dad to Alzhiemers back in 2000. Watched him fade for 10 years. I can share your pain better than most. The problem with drinking and drugs is that when you stop, the problem is still there. It really doesn't help. The best you can do is confront the problem and do the best you can do to make him comfortable. You have my heatrfelt simpathy and condolances my friend. Cam, this goes for you also. Very sorry to hear of your mom's illness.

If God didn't have a purpose for us we wouldn't be here, so
Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly.
(Leave the rest to God) 
Silence, in the face of evil, is itself evil. Not to speak is to speak, not to act is to act. God will not hold us guiltless.
