Default Re: dealing with an addict family member

First of all let me tell you that I sympathize with you and your family in this hard situation.
As so many others have mentioned already don't stop loving him because he is like this, the most he needs right now is love from close family members. On the other hand he needs to get a hard sense of reality and usually that happens when someone gets arrested and faces the law.
He has to want to be helped if not no one and I mean absolutely no one will be able to help him. He has got to spend some time alone away from any drugs or alcohol so he can realize that he needs help, you guys somehow have to provide that for him.
