My brother is a recovering alcoholic. He got so deep into his illness when his wife left him, I decided to put him in the hospital. He went dry, but relapsed and I had to ask him to leave my house and go live with our parents.

He is still dry.

And he still loves me.

I could not sit back and watch him kill himself. I would not be the one that let him go. I still won't and he knows it.

Do what you think is best and you will know you gave it everything you had. Just remember that you can't induce someone to change. They have to want it. I hope they respond to your concern and love.

My heart is with you and your family.
