Hi Juls,
Sorry You're going through this. I don't think you have to give up the relationship with your brother. I would just detach and put some boundaries in place. It may be easier for you if you met your brother in a public place or if you brought someone along with you. It just may be that you can't allow him to come over your house for a while.
If it were me, the scary thing would be to ask myself why I am having triggers? Am I going to meetings, talking to sober people, reading literature, praying? I did read your last post and I know you're going through a hard time right now. Believe me I know the feeling of sitting through pain. Addicts hate it but this too shall pass and you'll be OK. We're here.
