Unhappy Brother in the Gulf

this is my first venture here. my brother is working in the Gulf, in Qatar. no, not a military thing, a business law thing. he was told last year if he didn't quit, he'd have a year tops. he dried out at my place back home here, then went back to the Gulf. now he's planning to marry a young woman, and he's drinking again. i know its his problem. i know the drill. the question i'm asking is for me.

i figure that by this time next year he'll be dead. married or not. he's all i have, both our parents are dead, and i know that i'll need to feel that i did/said everything that i could. that i tried, or the guilt will get to me.

what can i say now, that will ease the guilt for me later.

i know i know, it probably won't work. i'm prepared for that.

but i have to write him and say something.

what can i say?
