My brother had similar problems as a college student 20 years ago. We attributed it to a few setbacks, being one of the boys, and being an athlete. He was a handsome, outgoing boy who “liked a good party”. Soon it was apparent that his kind of partying was different than other kids…more intense and he always managed to get in caught. Then he had a DUI. Then it was out of control. He’s been in and out of AA for most of his life, almost drinking himself to death several times. I can’t help but wonder…if I’d pushed him to get help earlier, would things have been better? Take my advice, tell your brother to take a year off and get his life together. AA changes lives, before drinking problems ruin lives and after.
