My Lil Brother

Well, it seems my lil brother has been clean since March 2006. He has been on methadone a year but, still used off/on. He gets his methadone from a pain clinic script "he had cancer" and he was not taking done all the time. He gets perkacets and is still mis-using his pain meds but, he stoped shoting. He is 21 started using at almost 16. I've been so scared 4 so long that he would die. 2 major overdoses that left him on a ventalitor "breathing 4 him". I am glad he has stoped but, would love to see him acually clean. He has been thru so much. His dad died of a overdose when he was 12. He has had 2 major brain surgeries. He was haning on the back of a car: car took off the left side of his head broke on the ground "age 16". He had skull reconstruction and smashed in 7in's of his skull. He is blind totally in right eye from a diffrent accident. He had testical cancer and had a testical removed last year. I don't know if he'll ever be off pain meds. I'm always scared for him he's very self destructive. I really want to show him thru my ACTIONS getting clean is so much better then using. I do think my life has had a impact on him. THIS is the 1st time ever he and I are not using at the same time. On a differnt note YESTERDAY was my 1 year off heroin! The cravings are all but, gone.

Thank you for sharing your little brother with us.....I got faith ZG.....he can do it.
Oh man ZG, he is very hansome but looks so sick! I saw my addict photos not to long ago, don't even look like myself. I'll pray for you that he gets better, we all know how difficult it is, poor guy. :( At least he's got a strong sis like you hun! Hang on, and don't ever forget to tell him how much you love him!
