Advice?? HELP!!?
Question by ??Samii??: Advice?? HELP!!?
Ok heres the deal….i love my brother to death, but he has major drug problems, and anger problems too. i thought about signing up for the show “Intervention” , but i know it would get violent, and we would have to get cops involved, and he has NO respect for the cops, so im kinda in a sticky situation, im afraid if we do that and have to get the cops involved, he might get shot or something, anybody know what i can do, im afraid were going to get a call saying hes dead over a drug deal gone wrong or something, help???
im 13 hes almost 24, but i dont know any way i can help, i want to help him, but i dont think he wants help, i dont even think he thinks he has a problem. i cant talk to him, because he lives far away, and anytime i see him, its only for about 5 minutes, because he comes around 1 time a year to drop my nephew off so he can go get high. he definatly does pot, and ecstasy, but im not sure what else he does.

Hi there. Have you tried talking to your brother? How old are you and how old is he?
SOunds to me like you want to help, but don’t want to see him suffer any consequences for doing the wrong thing? He won’t learn any other way unfortunately.

Drug Intervention: 100.3 The Sound Larry Video Update for Thursday, October 15, 2009, 07:03 AM
Some of us are concerned about Larry…not in a “maybe we should do a drug intervention” way, but more in a “what is going on in that monkey brain of his?” kind of way. We’re just sayin’….is there a doctor in the audience? A really good psychologist?

It’s a really tough situation, I know. What exactly is he on? Does he deal it, too? Is he living on his own or at home? Sometimes the best way to get somebody to snap out of it is to get caught and put in jail. They’re forced to actually look at what they’ve been doing and take in the reality of it. I’m not saying that you should call the police on him, but it is an option. If that’s the best idea for him, I can’t say. If he’s living at home, oftentimes that just makes it worse. He knows he has a security blanket that will allow him to keep on with his habit. He feels safe to do his drugs if he’s at home and protected by family. If that’s the case, that’s not a good idea. I know it seems like it would, because you love him and feel that living at home is the safest place for him, but it’s not helping him. If he is living at home, I believe your family should make an ultimatum for him. If he wishes to continue with his drug use, then he cannot live there anymore. He will have to immediately leave. He cannot be enabled. By living at home, he’s being enabled to use. If you’d like to talk more about it, contact me. Take care.

try a family counselor. find one tell them your worries and they ll try and help you find the best way to get him to come around. im sure somewhere he sees where he s going wrong to. maybe push the anger problems more and when that gets him to therapy they can ease him into his reason for his drug problem.
i say this cause anger is something to everyone that seems easily fixed, while a drug problem usually means something more instense and will prob make him feel really insecure even more because thinks he s a problem.
drug problems and anger problems all stem from something inside him that he doesnt like about him.
again no expert, so def see a couselor, dont take my word for it to much, it s jsut advice.
but prefably a family counselor i think if your whole family wants to help out.
Sorry you are going through that.Call a social worker to get help.
