I have been addicted to substances all my life; I started with cocaine when I was 10 years old, but my addiction started way before since I am a polio survivor, therefore I underwent through many operations; drugs, drugs, drugs.
I am 44 years old and finally I have come to realize what is wrong with me; ME! I see everything wrong and I twist everything because during my drug career I lost my capacity to LOVE. Sounds funny? but it isn't. Life is not just about me, me, me and that is what drug addicts are.
In 2001 I overdose and died; but guess what? No! I am not a ghost... They brought me back, when I woke up it was like I was in someone else' shoes, and that is when I realized that all my life I have been a selfish SOB.
You are strong but not equipped with what it takes to deal with your brother; give him tough love, he needs reality check. Is not easy but you can save his life that way; and yours too. There is nothing in this world that can save his life other than himself and God.
I am clean today, but believe me somedays I just want to let go and tell the world to fuck off, but that would make me the same old me. Been there...
