My boyfriend is currently on a downward spiral with his alcoholism. He has lost his job, his home, and his pets. It seems as though he has completely surrendered to alcohol and is willing to let it take everything from him. I don't know what to do to help.

Heya -
That's a cruddy situation to be in, and I'm sorry to hear that someone you love is suffering from their addiction. It takes a lot of self control to avoid stepping in to solve their problems.
The kindest thing you can do is let him know there is help available and leave it up to him. Once he's ready for that help then you can help him get it.
Other than that, anything you do to alleviate his discomfort will be enabling his addiction.
Blame it on me, but know that I won't regret one iota.
