Hi and welcome to SR. I can't add anything to what's been posted already. I've been in a similar situation with my Abrother, and you're welcome to read my old posts. My Mom & I even had him commited. In the very beginning we all were in such denial we thought he had a gambling problem, which is bad in and of itself, but I laugh about that. My parents did not want to face the alcoholism and drugs. What has helped me is what has been suggested already, the stickies, the books, the forum and Alanon. You're not alone, glad you found us.
