I had just finished my yoga and meditation. Walked downstairs and he's standing huddled in a corner trying to keep warm. I'm listening to his story about being up with crackheads and fighting for his life etc. It's sad. Apparently treatment won't take him??? Anyway, I'm giving him money and dropping him off at the mall. my baby brother...this is my baby brother.

The main thing now is to see that he is Safe.....you care for him greatly....by your tone.
After you have done that,tell us more about yourself and your brother.
Im taking it your are not drinking yourself .....Do you get any Help,Therapy,Meetings,etc.
The reason im asking this is you can ultimately do nothing For Him as far as stopping his Drinking.
You can only care for,change, your self............at first with difficulty as you Probibly have gathered.
Keep in touch.......There is help here,but its not as good as FTF Help....which you would get at meetings,Phone Friends, etc.
Bless both of ye on your Journey to Soberiety.

shelters close at 7am. No, I'm not drinking nor do I feel like I want to. He's mentally ill. More difficult than addiction as I've come to learn in his case.
yes, I care about him. very much. It's just difficult for obvious reasons. To have to kick someone when they're down right to their face.
Thank you guys so much. He's still here and I'm keeping my composure
