handle my brother better

Well, it seemed everything was going to be Ok only two days ago. But yesterday and today there has been some nasty exchanges. I really do not know how to handle him, this much I admit. But where do I go to learn? Whom do I ask? I just wish him peace and a gently fate.

I was traveling last week but we exchanged a few nice text massages and I felt much more controlled when I say him today. Just exchanged a few words but felt there was an intuitive connection which I have not felt before. I didn’t ask him any hard questions or anything. Will try and take him out for a coffee or meal later in the week.

these past few days have been better. I caught him smoking up in the bathroom and without getting angry encouraged him to quit and get some regular exercise.

I hope I can help him more, and KNOW how to help him better. I want to learn more about how I can do this, and be more available for him.

My youngest brother (now 26 and 8 years younger to me) had been smoking heroin for sometime. I tries to be clean but then relapses. He was quite OK the last few months but has been acting very difficult the last 5 days. I suspect he had a relapse as his behavior has changed dramatically.

I have tried to help him in many ways, but now and again I feel like a failure. I want to handle this matter more efficiently and successfully.
