bummed out...my cousin relapsed just found out today

just found out my cuz relapsed today-he got sober right after i did and we were really supporting each other and doin the deal together it was really nice having a fam member along for the trudging and he seemed to really want it this time (5th rehab for him-opiate/alcohol guy) he had been really distant since my moms funeral sept 24th hadnt been responding to my texts and not returning calls, especially when id invite him to meet for dinner and a meeting...it sucks but i know i cant control ppt's!!! all i can i do is pray and love him like i do any other aa member sucks but its true....

Sorry to know he did not stay....perhaps your example of recovery will get him back on track..

Please remember if you are thinking about making a 12 Step call on him...doing it alone is not recommended.
Take along a more expereinced member for guideance..

I'm sorry he is lost at the moment.

Stay strong with your recovery and you will show him by example, how your life can change.
