I don't agree that *I* have a problem that requires "recovery" when it's my brother that's the alcoholic.

I'm living my life as a responsible grown up. He isn't.

Since he lives with us, his actions have an effect on us, and cause a lot of stress. If he didn't live with us, our lives would go on as they had before.

It's my brother that needs recovery--but he doesn't want it.

Your recovery is so you can learn NOT to get entangled in his mess so his alcoholism doesn't negatively effect you.

Take what you want and leave the rest.
