All Family
How will losing all family support effect a drug addict?
I know you need to cut druggies off unless they get help but what happens if you also treat them like you hate them?
My brother is on Meth and he did a lot of horrible things to our family over the years. When our Mom passed away I finally retaliated and did a lot of horrible things to him. To be honest though it didn't make me feel any better.
I am wondering what losing all family support will do to a drug addict?
"I am wondering what losing all family support will do to a drug addict?"
alienate them. push them away from the one group that actually cares if they live or die.
you don't want to cut off a druggie totally, just financially.
it's gonna be hard, they will probably try to steal from you, call you all kinds of names, etc. look past all this, it's not him acting out, its the drugs.
the best thing you can do is keep loving him, not hate him. hating him will justify what he really thinks about himself...he's a useless waste of space that no one cares about.
spend time with him, take him out to eat, take him to a basketball game...take him places to help get his mind off of getting bent. be his brother, for now ignore the fact that he's an addict. concentrate on rebuilding your relationship. he's still your brother inside. once you begin to trust one another again, start working on cleaning him up. start attending NA meetings, and show up at his place and offer to take him along...eventually he'll go with you, if only to shut you up.
the road to recovery is steep, rocky, and difficult. without support no druggie will ever have the initiative to start the climb...but don't preach getting clean, just plant the seed. he isn't going to quit until he wants to quit. just show him how important he is to you and the family, no matter what he does.
