Having been on the wagon so long I am sure it is just a swift kick in the pants to get you back on! And I hope you do.

Sounds like you are very loved. And that is a GOOD thing to be appreciated.

Fight the fight and make it to the other side, and LIVE!

I know it seems impossible, but you have a family who loves you and will give you all the support you need. Your sister has done something brave and now it’s your turn.

My grandmother had diabetes and drank – it did not end prettily. I hope your brother will find his way back to those who love him. I’ve seen how impossible it can seem. x

I just want you to know that I LOVE YOU and you mean SO much to me and my kids!!! I could NEVER imagine what it would do to my babies (mainly Tyler) if something bad happened to you. PLEASE do what you have to do to get sober, so I can stop worrying about having to tell them they will never see you again. You did it once and I KNOW you can do it again, but this time instead of 14 or 15 years, lets go for a LIFETIME!!!! I Love you like a Dad, and I do NOT want to lose you!!!

First of all, thanks for coming to my “Mommychugging” post at Pajamas and Coffee so I could find your post here.
Which made me cry. My heart goes out to you and your family- as I mentioned in the post I was raised by an alcoholic. My brother has been in and out of rehab with major drugs and alcohol problems, so I wish I could take your post and send it to him. It is so brave of you to write it. Maybe I will find the courage to do something like this one day, and if I do, I will credit you.
I admire your courage, and I wish the very best for your brother.

Dear Big Brother,

I struggle with that same demon (whew – first time I’ve admitted that). But what you have is an entire family and many friends that are ready to fight with you – don’t be afraid to ask them to! As Susy said above, you’ve already been forgiven so all that is left to do is get the help you need. I wish for you strength and courage.

Suzy and Big Brother, I’m sorry for what each of you is going through. Each of you has a very real, but very different, pain. Hard times can seem so difficult, so hopeless, but they’re not. But alcohol can make it hopeless and adds a horrible little layer of self-loathing. You can do it. You’ve done it before. It’s hard, but you can do it.

When you were the Best Man at our wedding you spoke wisely and lovingly of your family. Your family loves you too and we need you to come back to us. It has been a true joy having you back in our lives for the last fifteen years. You are strong, smart and generous–a rare triple combination. But generous doesn’t mean giving your retirement to a liquor store or drug dealer so you can throw your life away. Do the smart and strong thing and check yourself into a hospital.

I lost a brother. My parents lost a son. His wife and child lost a wonderful husband and father. Please don’t put your family through that kind of devastation. He didn’t have the power to change what happened to him but you do. You are so strong and so loved. Tap into that power of love and overcome this.
