Cool Asking for prayers

One of my siblings is in jail right now. I am asking that he won't be released to his own recognizances we are hoping to get him straight into rehab.

He is really sick in his disease and has done some particularly awful stuff this past year. He is too old to be living like he has been living. I feel so bad for my mom because she feels so overwhelmingly sad for her son.

Believe it or not he used run and was a counselor in a homeless shelter for 10 years.

This relapse of his has lasted for quite some time now. He got clean for about a year once after he quit working at the homeless shelter.We think it is possible he has had a stroke cause his face looks really droopy on one side. He has been doing so much dope plus drinking heavily. He has broken into my mom's house and gone completely bizerk several times. Mom has called the cops on him so many times they are about ready to set up a precinct in front of her house.

I want to thank you in advance for prayers for my poor sick brother.

I'm so sorry, Splendra, how sad it is what addiction can do.

My prayers go out for your brother, and for all of you who have been through so much.

Big Hugs

I will pray to the Mother Goddess for you, your Mum and your Brother, may he find the strength to get sober. He sounds like deep down he is a good person.

Much love,

My brother has a bond hearing this coming Monday his lawyer says he will walk so unless he is strong enough to do the right thing he may be right back out there in a couple of days.

I know it is not up to me. I do believe his HP has him in His hands. My brother knows the 12 steps inside out, backward and forward and is probably sitting in jail right now showing someone the light I pray he sees it too.

Thank you all so much for your prayers and hugs.
