I live far away from my brother. After visiting at Christmas I told him I can not spend time with him any more as long as he continues to drink. His wife is an alcoholic whose employer has sent her to rehab and yet she continues to drink. So she's no help. Now he says he wants a "truce." Am I supposed to say I will NOT communicate with you unless you either try to get help or try to quit drinking? And why is Antabuse so frowned on, when it seems like a foolproof way to keep someone from drinking?? I'm at my wit's end and I fear for his two kids.

About 4 months ago he overdosed and had to be revived. My family and I thought this would be a wake up call and he would finally end his addiction but when I went home for thanksgiving I found a prescription bottle with plenty of evidence that he is injecting the drugs through his veins. My parents are divorced and as of today he has been kicked out of both of their houses for stealing money and not being trustworthy. I live 3 hours away from home so I cannot physically do anything but I am very concerned for my brothers, and also my parents well being. What can I do for my brother and also my parents? thank you I have a brother addicted to oxy codon pain killers. About 4 months ago he overdosed and had to be revived.
