[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 673761, member: 1550"] That is such a heartwrenching story and I am so sorry about your brother. Do you think he would have not drank and died if somebody had been giving him money or set him up in an apartment? I have a story of a young man who DID live at home and who told me he was an alcoholic, but was treated well by his father whom he lived with. He never even talked to h is father about his drinking. He died of alcohol poisoning in his own home at 26. Although he was an alcoholic and knew it (and used some drugs too), he was not under any pressure to stop and his life was cozy. He didn't think his father even knew he was an alcoholic. There are no guarantees. Hopefully your younger son will decide to get help and to stop and you will see him well. It happens every day that addicts quit...I also dated a man who was an alcoholic who had stopped drinking and was active in AA and to this day, from his Facebook, he is still clean. This is some twenty years. Try to focus on those who do decide to quit. The final outcome is really up to your son and I pray he makes a decision to quit very soon! Hugs for your hurting mommy heart.
