I sincerely hope your brother allows people to be with him and that he gets the chemical support he needs to come down off the toxin healthfully.
I will feel much better when I know he's at the hospital.
Take me, sir. Take me hard.

Steph, I am so sorry that this situation with your brother has gotten kind of scary. I hope everything levels out and starts to run the right way.
Thinking good thoughts for you, your brother and your family.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Me too, Teppy.

Thanks, you guys. SO MUCH.
I talked to him about half an hour ago -- his wife got home from work, they went to (IIRC) a walk-in substance abuse clinic, the clinic people evaluated him and immediately sent him to the hospital to be admitted for 3-4 days. He doesn't know yet whether, at the end of those 3-4 days, he'll be in an inpatient rehab program or an outpatient program. I guess they'll figure that out as he detoxes.
I know he has a long haul in front of him, but this immediate withdrawal/detox period is so scary, he just needed to get medical help. That's what I was most scared about. I am SO RELIEVED. I have no words for how relieved I am.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's a huge relief, Tep, I'm glad he's under care.

Blessings on you all, Steph.
Thank GOODness he is in care. It will be a long, rough haul but getting over the medical crisis makes all the rest doable.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Oh, Tep, I'm so glad. Many gold stars to the walk-in clinic for getting him the care he needed right away.
