I couldn't bear the thought of my baby brother living on the street so I repeatedly let him live with us against my husband's wishes. My advice to you is let him live on the street. I know how gut wrenching and how hard that is. I also know how much easier that is said than done. The one thing I have learned in my nar-anon meetings is... His choice his consequence. Until we stood up to my brother and his addiction and said no more you are on your own he would have never went into rehab. His choice was the street or rehab. He chose the street for a while but did go to rehab about 2 months ago. You have to detach with love. Again, easier said than done. I told my brother I loved him more than he would ever know but I was not going to live his addiction he needed too. All addicts have to hit their bottom. My brother's was not jail, was not people trying to kill him, it was our family standing together united and letting him know we were getting off his addiction roller coaster. I wish you the best of luck. And if you need to talk please email me at sistersofadrugaddict@gmail.com<br />Lots of love and healing, <br />Heidisisters of a drug addicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09666893987236817994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1762683345943648089.post-86471344214064122212012-08-05T14:15:54.355-04:002012-08-05T14:15:54.355-04:00Hello,
Thank you so much for sharing your story....Hello,<br /><br />Thank you so much for sharing your story. My brother is currently a heroin addict and has been using drugs for about 6 years now. I have shed so many tears over him and have taken him in several times. I am the rock in my family and they all seem to depend on me when things go wrong. I recently got a kindergarten teaching job and my husband and I rented a place. My brother wants to live with us again because he says he is homeless, but my husband does not want to take him in again. I feel sad about it know my husband is probably right, however I can't get the thought of my brother out on the street. Any advice?Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01591849096058947840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1762683345943648089.post-83279752292553327342012-05-22T10:07:00.082-04:002012-05-22T10:07:00.082-04:00I have a list of free rehabs and shelters typed up...I have a list of free rehabs and shelters typed up that I can hand out when the need arises. :o( This is an awful place to be in...but they have to want to get well and until then we are just getting in the way.Annettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18326425173333184401noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1762683345943648089.post-81762969234086311692012-05-22T10:00:37.332-04:002012-05-22T10:00:37.332-04:00Thank you both for the support.Thank you both for the support.sisters of a drug addicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09666893987236817994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1762683345943648089.post-60999103792690477322012-05-22T06:47:45.139-04:002012-05-22T06:47:45.139-04:00When you feel he needs a place to live refer him t...When you feel he needs a place to live refer him to a clean living facility like and Oxford House.

We are lucky enough to have had 7+ years of recovery, but have just embarked to the road to hell once again.
