If you check out my previous posts, you can see my concerns about my brother. Last night, he texted me and said he was going to contact his doctor today and ask to get admitted to detox. I told him I was proud of him and it is a positive step in his ongoing recovery. Of course, that was last night, today is a new day. The last time he went into detox, I had to run his business. I have my own business to run and a 92 and a 91 year old aunt and mother that I take care of. He didn't outright ask me to take care of his business but I knew he was suggesting it!
I told him to take it minute by minute and at least get the Doctor on the phone today!
Anyway, he has never been to AA. How do you get someone to go?
I know the three Cs. I didn't cause it, I can't control it, I can't cure it! Should I just take care of myself and my family and let him take care of himself?
What would you do?
