My brother is an alcoholic

I really tried to get through to him but when I did bring it up he tried to throw stuff at me and called me a mental piece of ■■■■. As time went on I started caring less and less and I don’t do that cos I hate him. I do it to protect my mental peace.

It sounds like you need to take care of yourself; he’s not ready to change if that’s his reaction to your concerns. Are you safe? Him throwing stuff and calling you names is abusive, and that’s not okay.

My mum intervened when he was throwing stuff so I wasn’t harmed. But I did say he was abusive towards his girlfriend no wonder she didn’t stick around. I think that really hurt him. To be honest after what he said … I’m really done caring.

I understand that. There is someone in my family that I feel nothing but disdain for, and it all started with drinking. I will never be okay towards that person again, and I won’t pretend. I barely say hi, and only if manners dictate it’s necessary. Alcohol, drugs, etc really take their toll on the addict and the people around them.

I had called the police on him when he started throwing stuff. Then as the police asked him to spend the night at a hotel he said ■■■■■ under his breath before leaving. He came back that same night. Which is what the police told him not to do.

Yeah he doesn’t seem to see it effects others … He doesn’t care so why should I.

Stay away from him because that all active alvoholics are bad and evil. I was evil 21 years ago when I was on alcohol. Now Iv been sober for 21 years. Keep away from active alcoholics and drug abusers they are very very bad company.
