Sorry, it ****es me off when people bring that nonsense to the board period, let alone a discussion about a young man losing his battle and ultimately his life to his demons.

I'm sorry to hear about your brother. I don't know why people get addicted to things and whether they're very successful or not, it can get to seemingly any income level. By most accounts, he had it all going and then all that happened. Again, I'm sorry to hear about all that and hope things get better. I know I don't look forward to the day I get a call from my mother that he's gone, but in my head I've already been there.

It’s all good, it is what it is. But yeah, I don’t understand it either. Personally, I’m not a huge drinker and I don’t do drugs. It’s just crazy how things affect people differently

I have a pretty similar story. My brother is 37. He has always drank and what not, smoked a little weed, nothing serious. Up until about 5 years ago... that is. Something happened. He had a job making 100k or so per year, a beautiful wife, two kids. Then the alcohol got to him. His wife left him. He became a really bad alcoholic. Went to rehab, didn’t really work. Last February he got arrested for shoplifting. He was having seizures in the jail (he’s had seizures ever since the true alcoholism started). They transported him to a hospital. As he was leaving the hospital, he fell somehow and hit his head, hard. He had a brain bleed. The had to perform 9 surgeries on his brain to get it to stop. Fast forward 15 month later and he’s finally out of the hospital/rehab. I’d say he’s about 80% there. He has permanent brain damage. He used to be my best friend and now when I talk to him, it’s like he’s not even there sometimes. It’s beyond say because he’s living part time with my mom and myself. It breaks my parents heart and it’s awful to watch. He can’t see his kids either, because his ex wife doesn’t trust him, for good reason. Sorry for the long post, but it’s truthfully sad to see. I pray he can function in society, get a job, stay off the booze, see his kids, but idk. If he ever starts drinking again, he’ll die. I can almost guarantee it. I have that dream quite a bit. Not a good feeling

This is a heartbreaking post, man. I appreciate your courage in sharing this and hope one day your family, including your brother, finds some peace.

Thank you! I appreciate it. I actually brought him over to workout in my garage gym yesterday. Should’ve taken a pic. He wants to get back into it, so that good. Sorry, not trying to make this about myself/my family, but my whole point is it’s crazy what an addiction can do to anybody

Absolutely, addiction can be devastating once it reaches a certain stage.

He's very fortunate to have a brother like you; having solid social support is the number one factor that determines whether a person can overcome their addiction.
