i am the type of person who sees a hurt animal on the road and try to help it and i am a very big family person and i am a very emotionally person espically when it comes down to homless people and my family and i feel very sad and hurt i just want to be able to smile and laugh and be in a good mood. i asked my husband if he could live here he said no because we have a 15 month old and we dont need to expose our children to that he has tried to get help but i dont think he knows that he has hit rock bottem its like now much further does he have to go until he realizes he needs help i guess i am feeling anxiety because winter comes where is he going to go and it saddens me to think someone in my family would be that dumb again no rude answers please i need some help

okay go see him and tell him “get your act together and fix it and if you can you can stay with me but no alcholhol and the minute you do your gone” and the best way to detox is get detox tea and have him just sit in a room and sleep

I am the same type of person that you just want to save the world. Being pregnant does not help the situation with your hormones. I have those types of situations that run in my family as well. Your uncle will not change unless he really wants to change. He needs to go to rehab. Rehab only works if you are serious. A prayer that I’ve heard they say in AA is God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Right now your number one priority should be your baby. I could not imagine having to see a family member on the street. Hopefully someone will have the strength to help him to help himself. God Bless You, I hope things will change.
