No, his only sibling is my mom, who has her own issues and she is back in our hometown. My grandma passed in '07 (thats where the depression stems from, guilt). His aunt passed recently too. His step mom won't talk to him due to his drinking.

He got the money the first time from his temp job when he first got out here. He went on a 3wk binge, never went back to work, and I had to call an ambulance to get him to the hospital. In the mean time, his car got repossessed and his phone got shut off. This time he got the money b/c he pawned his DJ speakers. He said he gave me the remaining of his money, but lied. He drank for 6 days, but I got him to go to the hospital before it got too bad.

((He stays in his bedroom for days to drink. He comes out to use the bathroom and make something to eat when I'm not home))

The day after he got out out of detox the 2nd time, he called an ambulance to go to the hospital because he slipped on ice and said his neck hurt. He was intoxicated (he found a pint of vodka he stashed in his room). They ended up taking him to the emergency psych floor b/c he was being a smart a*s b/c he had a ****** nurse and said "this was so much fun, I'm going to go home and do it all ober again!". He ended up being there for 21 hrs. The only good thing that came out of that is that they got him an appointment for a counselor 3 blocks away from my house.

I told him that this was his last chance. He literally walked to the liqueur store within 15min of talking about it. I caught him and he took it back. He got more when I went to work though.

I know he needs MH help for depression and he has his first appointment this week. But his first appointment isn't going to magically make him stop drinking. I worry that if I do take him to a shelter or something he won't be able to get to his counseling to get to the core of his problem. He probably won't be able to get the things done that he needs to....
