For those who have followed any my posts since I joined, you know that I have a brother in law who is an alcoholic. He lives in LA and we kind of fed off each other for years. After my injuries I have made a serious effort to abstain from alcohol (full disclosure, haven't been perfect). Since then our relationship has become distant. Bottom line, I've changed he hasn't.

Last night was the 3rd time I've talked to him in the last 2 weeks. I'm worried. He's almost incoherently drunk by 3-4PM (LA time zone). At this point he's so far gone I think his health is going to fail him. I plan to have a sober talk with him when I am out there. I doubt it will do any good, but I have to in good conscience. Kind of wanted to get that off my chest.
