Hey,

I'm so sorry you're going through this.


I know your brother won't talk to him about this but I still think it's worth sitting down with him during a time when he isn't under the influence and is in a relatively good mood. Maybe you can say that you have noticed that he has been drinking a lot lately and you are worried about him. You can also give him a few examples of things that have either impacted you or caused you concern related to his drinking. If he resists don't yell at him or argue with him but let him know you're there for him if he ever changes his mind in the future. Just in case he IS willing to get help, maybe you can find some resources local to you that can offer him more support.

I don't know where you're located but around here there are Al-Anon groups specifically for family members of alcoholics, so maybe you can see if your location has something like that. The people in that group will probably have similar experiences to you and be able to offer you support.


Do you ever get a little bit tired of life
Like you're not really happy but you don't wanna die
Like you're hanging by a thread but you gotta survive
'Cause you gotta survive
