Kicking him out on the 14th is the best thing you can do for him. I know it seems like you are being cruel but in truth letting him stay longer is the worst thing for him. It re-enforced that idea that he can coast though life. Sometimes medicine doesn't taste so good.
You can't convert people like that to your way of thinking. Remember, people don't listen to beliefs they listen to facts, the only thing you can do is keep pointing out what he should be doing right. Notice I said "right", pointing out flaws is all well and good but most people like Andy don't have direction, they don't have a plan nor goal and they don't even know how to get started.
However you are not his guardian, even if you feel obligated to help him in some way. You already did, I think you've done enough. One thing you have to understand is that he won't change in a day, week or even month. He won't jump up and say "you are right!" and be a whole new person. Rebuilding his life will take allot of time and effort and this is a battle he has to fight on his own. Discomfort is a great motivator.
Now chances are he will just go and mooch of someone else, but that is life you can't save everyone.
Like Sultana said, he is not acting like a friend and he is not showing any respect for you.
Best of luck, be strong and get Sean to help you get rid of him.
