Thanks for the feedback everyone. I think I'm going to talk to my brother about it when I call him tomorrow. (We talk every Sunday). I feel really nervous about asking because it's very clear that my brother doesn't understand addiction, and he's not comfortable talking about - same with my MH issues, but that's not my problem.

I don't know I guess I just feel weak for having to ask and impose on them, like I should be able to cope. But I know I'm really struggling right now and seeing them drink would just be too much for me.
