Rob,

Congratulations to you on your upcoming 4-years of sobriety. And thank you for the courage to bring this up, and to post the helpful links.

I recently discovered that my brother has substance abuse problems; he went into rehab last month, but didn't finish the program. My sister and I are now looking at intervention, with professional coaching, to make sure he gets into a program that will help him. Your links will prove to be a valuable resource to me, I'm sure.

Again, many thanks.

My2Cents,

Good luck, and prayers from Georgia for your brother in the hope the finds the wisdom to ask for help and the courage to stick with it.

He must recognize that it can be done and it can be much better without the booze and then ya’ll can help. But he has to recognize the problem and want to do something about it.

Let me know if you need anything, I will ping the list for advice on your borther...

Good luck with helping your brother.

Don’t be discouraged if he’s “not ready yet”. At least your efforts will help in planting the seed.
