My father was an alcoholic and I've spent a considerable amount of time learning about alcoholism.
The behaviors you describe are not uncommon for an addict. Your guy is in serious trouble and there is not a thing you can do to help him, except to refuse to participate in his self-destruction. Get out of that house and get him out of your life. As long as he is using you should have nothing to do with him. This accomplishes two goals: 1. it establishes consequences for his behavior, and 2. it improves safety for you.
Were you exposed to addictive behaviors when you were growing up? There's a big chance that you were.
