Tripping and Slipping
Jim LaPierre Says...
Hi there and thanks for your question. It's great that your brother is off coke but I think you have every reason to be concerned. Having run into some pretty significant and objective problems, he stops using one drug, does another, and is coping poorly. Treatment on an outpatient basis would be the starting point I'd recommend and I'd strongly urge him to consider NA and attending a few meetings with an open mind. Please take very good care of yourself as you live with these warranted concerns. It's heartbreaking to experience the powerlessness that goes along with this type of powerlessness. Please get support for yourself from family and friends. Whatever you're feeling about this is understandable. Good luck and blessed be.
