Thanks yall...this is so HUGE for my brother, and I may be over thinking it, so it really helps to have others break it down into simple elements. I can not ask my brother what he wants - it would be like asking a two year old what they think is best for themselves. I know I can't run his program, but he can't drive, he can barely walk, he can barely talk, he is totally suggestible ( I am not ruling out brain damage from drinking until all tests are back from the doctor) but he REALLY needs someone else besides me to reach out to. I am raising my own kids, his kids, working and taking care of him now too, and he needs a man to reach out to. My husband helps, of course, but he is not an alkie, so he is not the best person for my brother. I know the fellowship will help him.

I don't know anyone who goes to the meeting my brother chose, which is in the town where he lives, so even tho I'm an alkie who can always use more contacts, it is going to be up to me to make it clear to the men at the meeting that we are there for my brother. I have been waiting for this day for so long for him, I just don't want to screw it up!!

Thanks again everyone -I'll keep you posted!
