What to do with an old friend

[Husar]

It's about what you didn't say, can't believe you don't understand

But what I didn't say I may not have said on purpose because it may not be what I meant!
That doesn't mean I do not understand!
I thought my first post made my position clear, the rest was just fluff in response to fluff, don't let that offend you, honey.

I knew I would be asking too much when considering my position. I need an exit strategy.

How about a well placed ultimatum. Are their any state run or free rehabs there, similar to AA and such in the US? Does he have anything he holds dear, loved one's perhaps that you can ask for help from or appeal to him with that might make him move off your boat and onto some type of recovery to save himself? Perhaps you could just find another place for him to rot, for someday you might return to your boat and find him dead. He has to decide to help himself, otherwise he will never leave and you will have to 'help' him indefinately. I realise drug addiction is a nasty thing, but considering your situation, other than to pan him off to someone else, that seems to be the only option. In my opinion anyway.
