My brother is using drugs again..

Hey, I know how you feel. Know that you are not alone. Users don't think of anyone else but themselves. They don't consider the impact of how it effects those that love them. I wish there was something more I could do. I guess the best thing we can do is breathe and cry on each other's shoulders. Huggers to you Marie.

OKay I'm goin to be brutally honest here and I'm sorry if I sound harsh, I dont mean to... he is NOT going to see it and EVEN IF he did...HE WONT CARE...I'm sorry but he wont....when I was using hardcore I didnt care about what it was doign to my kids or my husband...all I cared about was getting my next hit...Its painful to hear but it IS reality... Here is something else you wont want to hear either...if he isnt goin to get help and get away from the area then I think you and your family need to cut ties with him...He WILL have to completely change his lifestyle and from the sounds of it since he did fall off the wagon, he needs to get the hell outta dodge to do it.... I've been clean for almost 5 yrs now BUT if I were to move back to my country/hometown I WOULD get high all over again in a matter of months I would most definately fall off the wagon.... Finally, he has to WANT to get it together above all else or its pointless...doing it for you or your family isn't going to help him or keep him clean...he has to want to do it FOR HIM and him alone/ first a foremost My heart goes out to you....I know how much damage us junkies can cause our loved ones on so many levels....Hang in there.....

so sad it is very bad and i hope will not this again.

hi marie.. plz be strong. if u r not strong enough..ur family will fall down easily..there must be at least someone who is strong to stand by them ..i kanow how u feel and i know how u think..because i have heavy problem myself and sometime it made me feel like i want kill myself..but..deep down inside me..i want to live longer so that i can see the changes in the future..

i advice if you trust God. Don't worry you just pray and believe Him very deep in your heart. I believe God will help you.God created us so God could heal us.

Dear friend, i am so sorry to hear that you are going through this tragic story again. Being an addict is a sad story, and there is never a guarantee that the person that is using, or that stopped using will keep himself clean. I do not know what is your brother's situation right now, but i do believe that you and the whole family did everything to help him the last time, in every way. I am going to tell you something that maybe you are not thinking of right now, but as you described your situation, i really do not know if you can do anything to help him now, except force him out of the house, and register him in a rehab center. But the main point is, that you have to be far away from the situation right now, because it is breaking you. If i knew of a way, except the one that i told you, then i would tell you marie, to stay with him. But no it is not possible. With all of the pain and the worries that you are feeling towards the loved one and his situation, you will have to leave it. and take care of yourself. Keep your strength to when he comes back from the rehab center, then he will need you more then he does now. hope everything will be solved.

it is really a matter of tense and thinking.i think u should take ur brother to any physcratist and take some advice from him if he say to admit ur brother then admit him for few days.i think it helps.

I agree with ravenladyj - you need to cut the ties with him - its called TOUGH love. Suggest to him that he gets help now and if he doesn't let him go it on his own - find his own home and be completely on his own with no family connections. That might shake him into getting the help that he needs.
