wtf my brother is in jail

My brother was found past out in yard of a house. He's fine just drunk. How do help him he won't stop. Think this going to kill him. Will he get in a lot of trouble. What's going to happen

[avisg]

As you know he has to want to get
clean .How old is he ?does he have any desire to stop.

Chances are if he was just found passed out drunk he will be charged with public intox and as long as he doesn't have any outstanding warrants and hasn't been in a lot of trouble he will see the judge,be issued a fine and released once he sobers up.I will keep your brother in my prayers...all the best...Kim

Thxs he is 21 and no he says he doesn't he has been drinking since 16. He is defending his it right now

[dominosarah]

This is considered public intox.  I hope he will figure this out soon and get into some sort of recovery.  As i said before all you can do is let him know you are there for him.  I know it hurts but dont forget to take care of you during this.......sara

[febninthgirl]

Thxs I know stress is my biggest trigger. I do that I will take this and look at it as a reason to stay clean. I'm scared and really sad that this is happening to him.

[dominosarah]

Does your brother know about your addiction?

[febninthgirl]

Yes he does he won't talk to anyone about it he and my other young brother view me more as a mother type. I had to raise them most of the time doe to my parents working two jobs

[dominosarah]

I am hoping that he will see that being clean and sober can be a good thing and will feel comfortable in talking to you when the time comes.

[febninthgirl]

God I hope so.  I hate to see people I love hurt and not be able to do anything about it. This *****

[dominosarah]

I know the feeling.  Just hang in there.  He will come around and you will be there for him......CLEAN.

[febninthgirl]

Thank you sarah your words are very kind. You all are more supportive then my own husband

[dominosarah]

I know the pain you are feeling.  I have a brother who is a recovering alcoholic.  He has been sober now for many many years and doing well.  Dont give up hope.         sara

[febninthgirl]

I won't I will never give up on someone I love. Thxs sarah

Have you talked to other family members, maybe you can stage an intervention, Let him know how much you love him,and that you are concerned, next time he could get alcohol posing this would be horrible.Let him know he is not alone .Try to gather as much information on addiction  and services in your area.Knowledge is power hopefully if you gather the tool's he will try to work at it.Unfortunately this is something he's gonna   have to do himself. All you can do is be reassuring.  He is very lucky to have such a loving sister......................................................................Good Luck.. Young/gma

Thank you he called last night and wanted me to bail him out I told him the only I would is we went straight to brighton hosp. He's there he asked me if I would help him stay sober even after he is done with the 60 days. I told him yes. I cried al night in relief he came to me. He is my baby brother and I don't want to watch him die

[younggrandmother]

He has a sister like no other, he should thank his lucky stars that he has some like you in his life. I hope he realizes that it is going to be a long bumpy road, but with someone like you beside him, it will be a easier road to travel. I think it would be a good idea to tell him about the tears you cried for him.This time it was tears of joy not pain.              Good job....Young/gma

[febninthgirl]

Thank you for your kind words. This is struggle but this is what he needs.

[younggrandmother]

You can only do what you can do...................Now it's up to him .
