Last Stages of Alcoholism

i really believe mb is in the last stages of alcoholism... he has been ill for a long time. his anxiety, high bp and other physical problems are starting to affect his work more than ever. he is at the point he cannot work. 

he had open heart triple bipass 4 or 5 years ago..... i can't remember.... and has continued his lifestyle of drinking and smoking w/o slowing down. he did try rehab. but checked himself out after a week. so he never got help.

he looked worse than i've ever seen him.

it makes me very sad for mwm. she is devastated and helpless and thinks she can save him by bringing him home w/ her. but that won't work for long. but i think it's inevitable. he can't work. he can't sit in a trailer house by himself alone. 

all i can do is pray. and that i am doing. and taking care of myself. i will go visit but mm has so many problems herself. i have a hard time being in her chaotic home. her house is in shambles. even mh thought so. omg. and it was better today than it was this summer. it's just in shambles w/ chaos and clutter and junk she doesn't need. 

but there's nothing i can do about helping a hoarder. you can't. they need professional help. so   it's disturbing. but i know it's coming. just how long it will take... no one knows. i just ask God to have mercy and grace on my brother and help him when it's time for him to transition. i don't think i will have him much longer in this life.
