par, my heart goes out to you. You are in on of the most difficult situations loved ones face, dealing with a substance where a loved one used to be.
You need help and TG gave you the key, Al Anon or one of the other fellowships for f&f of addicts and alcoholics. There are some pretty good online support groups, too.
You didn't cause it, you can't cure it and you can't control it.
Seek help.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering. Caroline Myss
