I know its past the time to try and help him and he needs to help himself but shit. I just don't know what to do anymore.

You can't help someone that won't help themselves. Try offering to take him to a counselor, or something like that.

i have a drug addicted cousin thats relapsed a few times. call him out, have an intervention, whatever. they have to know how their actions are affecting you, others, and have to want to help themselves. the biggest thing i learned is inviting them to stuff etc doesnt do anything if they dont want to help themselves
best first step i would say is the 3 of you have an intervention with him and see if hes willing to get professional addiction help

Oh, and if he is addicted to any substances make sure he is sober before you do an intervention (not this anon).
