My Brother
My Brother
He's 22 years old and he's been messed up on pills and alcohol since he was in high school, it got the worst at age 21. He got diagnosed with Shingles at age 21 and was put on pain pills which he was soon addicted to, by the time he was done with the prescription he had, he was hooked on BCC's or "skittles". He was also doing marijuana, shrooms & acid. He wasn't my brother.
He reached his lowest point about a month ago when he overdosed on my dad's xanex. He took 22 xanax in 2 days and we had to take him to the hospital, along with that, a week before we took him to the hospital he crashed my pappy's truck, my pappy died 3 years ago and the truck was the only thing we had left of him. The truck is currently at a junk yard now. But when he was in the hospital, we were hoping they would put him in Tuckers since he was in for overdosing but Tuckers said he didn't "meet the criteria" to be put in. Fortunately, going to the hospital brought some light to him, he's starting to get better. He's slipped up a few times but?he's on a better track...?I just hope he stays there.
