I know that my brother is definitely using stimulants – amphetamines, cocaine, methamphetamine… but in recent months, we’ve been finding foil with brown stains in his room, which indicates heroin or fentanyl use. In short. You already know a bit about my brother – he’s not a good person anymore, and the version of him I remember from his teenage years has long been gone. He has harmed me and threatened me… and yet, seeing someone so close to me – knowing I may soon have to let him go completely, maybe even physically – is very hard. I can’t do anything.
Basically, in my country, the system works like this – you can’t force someone into treatment if they don’t want it. Even though the police have been called on my brother multiple times due to extreme aggression, violence, and so on, he always comes back home after a few days. Probably sobers up and that’s it.
So, the situation is this – my mom pities him, probably doesn’t want to kick him out – and he also threatens that if she does, or calls the police again, his friends will harm the whole family, maybe even… burn the house down to the ground. It’s a bad situation.
Right now I’m not at home, just resting – but when I think about everything that’s going on… I can’t say that our parents are completely innocent when it comes to how my brother turned out. We grew up in a certain kind of chaos… but still, that’s no excuse. I miss the version of him that existed 20 years ago… and I see that person is long gone.
Never give up hope coffee.. ■■■■ can seem bad and then turn around. Keep yourself safe and hopes something happens to change his life…after all all those stories about recovery from drug addiction aren’t fiction!!
When I deal with addiction and honesty I see myself wanting to turn to marijuana and alcohol for the rest of my life. They’re legal. And it’s taking over my being also myself. It is not easy on myself. I seem to have turned to pornography and nicotine addiction now. I don’t know what to say for your brother other than mercy and compassion on him.
It’s bad, but he doesn’t want help. I think it’s too late… It seems that all the substances are making him increasingly paranoid – he feels watched, followed… I don’t want to make predictions, but our whole family has started coming to terms with the fact that he might not be around much longer. And at the same time, he causes so much chaos – that sometimes, deep inside, I feel like I wish I had never known him. @signless
Doubtful. That’s a big ask and he has nothing to give them for it - addicts that far along are always skint. Betting they’re not going to stick their necks out for him like that. Most addicts are all talk and no walk.
For what islts worth i had a serious addiction thats clearing up and i use to cause so.e trouble i am literally harmless now. Im sorry your bro is messed up
