Thanks for the advice, all. He has no sponsor. Has resisted getting one so far. I left the room about 11. My mother, who has a medical background, stayed with him for the night. They are supposedly headed to a doctor for his anti-anxiety meds this morning. I do attend al-alon, just not very regularly. I will be going tonight. I just feel like I’m always skirting the line between enabling and intervening if it’s a possible medical emergency. My other brother and I always wonder what we’ll do—if we know where he is and asks for help, should we let him possibly pass out and die on the floor or should we intervene? How far is too far when you let them experience the consequences of their behavior? I suppose it’s going to be an ongoing process and we’ll figure it out as we go.
