It's 3:00 in the morning. Crying and sick to my stomach because of guilt over having to call the police to have my drunk alcoholic younger brother removed from my home. I know his actions caused it. Still doesn't seem to stop the tears. I would give anything for him to find sobriety and some peace. It is so hard to see him go through the full range of emoton of rage, then self hatred, then rage ,and then you glimpse his helplessness of this disease and it breaks your heart. Then that is quickly replaced with fear and disgust of the things that come out of his mouth.
I know he is responsible for his actions. But that is of little solace in the wee hours of a sleepless night worried about what his life has become.

I of course found it first in AA. Then as the strong suggestion of a old timer, I began working an Alanon program also. Alanon saved my sanity. It is the cement of my program today. Even though Alanon does not have a list of promises. I have come to believe there are inherent promise in this program. One of which is "we can fine contentment even happiness whether alcoholic is drinking or not. I have found that by working the steps of Alanon. By embracing the traditions and concept into my own personal life. I hope you have found a meeting in you area. You do not have to face this alone.
