there is hope
i know your pain, there is no easy answer. your right in turning him in. believe it or not but you very well could be saving his life. Its better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6. he is headed for prison or death if something is not done. i agree with the other reply, talk to the judge and request he order him to rehab, then on to a half-way house. Most judges order that to first time offenders, also they put a jail sentence over their head so if they dont fulfill their program then its off to jail. I was that addict that was stealing from my family and lying to everyone. i thank god everyday for everyone turning their back on me because if they hadnt done that i would either be in prison or dead. Also i would suggest you find a local alanon or naranon, these arwe support groups for families of alcoholics and addicts. stay strong, hold your ground. dont back down. his life is at stake.
