Stressed OUT!?!

my father's alcoholism, and his inability to get it under control. and although i know i can't make the changes for him..
and i know the right thing to do, was to step back and not enable him.
but the constant guilt consumes me, because i want him well, and know i can't save him, but i feel like stepping back isn't doing everything for him i 'should' be.. but i know this is the wrong thinking.. and i push myself daily to not get too consumed with this.. but the guilt still overwhelms me, daily..
and of course, i'm scared to friggin' death for his health..

=(
