[QUOTE="Littleboylost, post: 724275, member: 21895"] Welcome FP Ian sorry you find yourself here but I am happy that you found us. It is always so heart wrenching when the disease of addiction has such a negative impact on our loved ones. I know you fear jail for your brother, however, it is recently where my son finally after 3 plus years of escalating drug use detoxed and finally realized he had a Substabce abuse issue. You may indeed benefit from Naranon. They have meetings on line. Ther are also many self help books on detachment and learning not to be codependent with the loved one who had a drug problem. We need to learn how to move and yet not enable our addicted loved one. As many who are here will tell you. This is not an easy process, nor is it a path any of us want to be on. Yet here we are just the same. Take care of yourself and stand out of your brothers way. Set food boudaries and do not let him manipulate or abuse you. I do hope he sees the tragedy of his ways and seeks help soon. You did not cause this, you can not control this nor can you Cure it. Hang in there and be good to yourself. [/QUOTE]
