He checked himself in..

My brother, a 20yr addict has voluntarily checked himself into a 28 day program. He looked like a broke man. He looks lost. He looks alone. He looks scared. I think he knows its to the point of life or death.
I pray that he has the inner strength to do this and not walk out.
If you could please keep him in your prayers.
Today is his 2nd day.

Not knowing what his other programs were like, it's hard to say if this will be more intensive or not.

Some programs are better than others, but I do believe that when we are TRULY ready, God leads us to our salvation. And all manor of help will be given.
