This is not about suicide this is about asking for help on here about asking for advice my older brother and I were suppose to hangout for his birthday a while back on April 30th but he got arrested for something I do not know about and he is an heroin-opioid addict; while, as they say for every addict there is an enabler which I believe and don’t believe in 50/50 for I am getting tired of dealing with this rehash relapse bullshit this is the third time or something close to the third, not the first obviously yet he keeps calling because he probably wants to talk and I obviously don’t I need advice on perspective and guidance and what should I do should I suffer the consequences of this again regardless of being selfish for I know you need to be selfish and selfless otherwise people will walk all over you and this needs to stop. I need to take care of my own life and not deal with mania and manic and whatever psychological bullshit.

1 – I like your user name. 2 – I agree with you. If you’re drowning, you don’t need other drowning people clinging to you. It’s not selfish, it’s common sense. I’ve been in co-depressed relationships with friends, family, etc and the result is everyone getting dragged down harder. Get yourself to a safe situation, then come back for him. Or better, show him how to fix his life by being the example, and you won’t have to do anything else. Good luck!
Totally agree with previous post. Your bro is absolutely capable of living a clean life (IF he gets the help he needs) but he has to want to change. You can’t change him or make him want it. Get strong and lead by living. And I think you and I have a lot in common. I like your name. ?
That question mark should have been a smiley face.
Honestly, I don’t know if I want to be the example because he always takes of advantage of me and or manipulates me just to get money from me and it gets worse I decided to block his number because his bond is $2000 I don’t have that kind of money and even if I do it fucks me over I already broke the rule of not giving him money because of the enabling and I have been told not to do that and plus it is not my responsibility because some people have to hit rock bottom in order to help themselves out I don’t trust medication because I am smart enough to know that some of those psychiatric drugs and or meds can be dangerous as they call them murder suicide pills I rather talk to the people via suicideproject because this help me out more than pills although yes I did start drinking alcohol I do need to moderate because it does calm me down so I’ll try to take it easy on the booze. As those who don’t smoke sometimes become drinkers and I try to moderate.
Well now that I think about after what has transpired I think my mother puts my brother against each other sometimes either because she does that to look after me or worries that we will both end up hurting each other since we enable each other or something like, plus I hate having to pick who to trust or something similar to that.
