I've been on here for a little while now, havent really been active since i fell off the wagon. I didn't think i was having an issue with alcohol, and to be honest i have been moderating my drinking and everything perfectly fine, except when i drink with my brother.
Saturday night we were drinking at my house and we were drinking hard. We got on the topic of his ex girlfriend (they just broke up this past week). they live together, work together, and have been together for over 4 years.
He started to get upset and was really really drunk (i found out later he doesnt remember any of this so we was blacked out) so i put some chill music on and told him to go smoke a cig and well play some video games. I went to use the bathroom and i come out and he had taken a knife from my drawer and sliced his bicep wide open almost to the bone. Babbling about something that was not making any sense. he then tried to come at me with the knife saying that my ex had hurt me too and i needed a cut.
I took the knife and had to wrestle him into the bathtub, there was blood everywhere. I wrapped up his arm and he kept taking it off saying it didnt hurt. I had to lock him in the bathroom to call our parents to come get him and take him to the hospital. he got stitched up... and is better now
But since it was a self inflicted wound he has been baker acted for 72 hours... i know he is upset but i think we have bigger issues at hand.
I'm getting back on the wagon after this weekend, i love my brother and i want to have him around for a long time, this alcohol has to stop.
thank you for reading.
