Question by FickelFascination: What to do with my alcoholic brother?
My brother is well on his way to becoming an alcoholic. He’s 21. Two months ago he drove drunk and crashed, totaling his car and getting 5 tickets. The state made him go to classes but they don’t seem to be helping because tonight he’s incredibly drunk.

He’s actually been sober for about two months but now… But tonight I can’t even understand what he’s saying. He likes to drink heavily. He blew a .22 when he got in his accident. He won’t be driving tonight.

So, my question is, how should I handle this? Is there anything I should do or would it be best to stand back and let everything run its course?

Answer by gismo
Unfortunately it is very hard to get through to a person in such a crisis. They are addicted, and when someone is addicted to alcohol or anything else, they have to really want to change it. The only thing I can say to you is, do not facilitate him, when he is sober let him know how much you love him, how much it hurts you to see him do these things to himself and that you want no part of it as long as he is doing this.
Unfortunately if you stand alone on this, you may lose your relationship with your brother, but he has to see how much alcohol is costing him. A united front with the rest of his loved ones would be great. I have added a couple of links below, I hope this has been helpful as I am no expert I had someone in my life who abused alcohol not daily he was not an alcoholic in the textbook form but he abused alcohol in a way that affected the lives of those he loved. NO one had the guts to take a stand and the saga continues…. better luck to you and your loved ones.
