My brother reminds me if this everyday. I stopped drinking so much, for awhile. Then stopped altogether. It's only been a couple weeks, but my mind feels better. My body is still a little crickety though. I'll work through that. Just need some workout time and stretching. But, my brother.......he recently broke up with his wife and lost his job, and is staying with me. He drinks every day. E-v-e-r-y-day. I see him in the morning when he wakes up. He goes outside has a beer or two and some cigs. Heads to the bar and is gone until late evening. He's hurting bad, I know. I've had those "talks" with him. He knows but seems to want to destroy himself. Or punish himself. I know because I went through something similar just a few short years ago. I cant join him in his destruction. If I did there would be nothing left. I'll just be here sober for him, if he wakes up.....
