Susan. you are important here. I just realized that I didn't read your posts - so consumed in MY issues - So I clicked the back button and came back to read.
I am proud of your brother. Yes he has a tough road ahead of him but I have seen it done. My ex father in law is living proof. He used for 22 years also and has been clean for now 5 or 6 and owes it all to Jesus. He is going strong still and has gotten to know all his grandchildren with one exception, my son's little sister that was completely removed from the situation by her grandmother. The little girls mom is also an addict, so is her dad which is my oldest son's dad too - my ex husband who also chose to start using drugs during our wonderful marriage. We had a great relationship so I thought up until he started using. I knew things changed but until Spencer, I had no idea what addiction really was. Now I see the signs which last about 6onths only, before I took off from that.
Your sister in law is not going to get clean because your brother did, she has to make that choice and if it's really true what people say - an addict changes after they are clean, he won't want to be with her anymore anyways.
I always thought marriage was so sacred, but I found out the hard way and it seems your brother has too.
I'm so happy you have your brother back. He and your family will be in my prayers. Tell him to read as much as he can about life. Two books I suggest are "What happy people know" and "Purpose Driven Life". Reading gives your brain information in a manner that you never thought possible. Tell him congratulations for me on getting clean and excepting Jesus as his Savior.
Love your friend,
Heather
