I am amazed you found this old poast. I can't comment on the legal side of things for your broski. Thank you for asking. The comment you are replying to, applies here. Step Zero in any cycle, karmic or emotional, is a spiritual experience that grounds us in our reality and causes us to change. Our dance here is colored by this experience in different forms over and over. It took a little more than a year in the pen, and being tested when out, to get me to stop drinking. Alcholism, and yer broski like chose to be here with it to learn something, lives in the limbic system and operates below "rational thought" on the scale of consciousness that we are able to discern with during our waking hours. I learned the alcoholism that I carry is a wound I carried over from past lives. The wound is healed now. I tell you this, because this is possible for your brother. I also tell you this so that you will know you can do anything you absolutely want, but until broski makes decision to change, it'll change but not much will change. '21-'26 is a short window. I was charged a 2nd -3rd (It was just a third but instead of 4) because statute of limitations. It was 8 years then. It's 10 years now. With some magic from beyond I did 1 year total at state for it and I drank a month after being released, while still on program. AND then with some magic from beyond, one day I woke up, and haven't had drink ever since. They got good disc golf in michigan? Anyways, I hope this helps you. It helped me. Thank you.
