Question

Answer 1

i;m SO sorry to hear about this situation if anyone knows about crack its me I'm from Reading Pa aka crack city i have seen it ruin so many lives the only thing you can do for him is pray for him in Jesus Name hes his only hope addicted crack users may get clean for a few months maybe a few years but with out GOD they almost ALWAYS relaspe

About his son he needs a stable enviorment no matter how much he wants to be with his dad this is too much for him at the age of 3
I'm not saying keep him from his dad but he should only be around him when there is another adult hopefully his mom or maybe you or his grandmom can raise him cause your brother is unable right now

Answer 2

Sometimes you gotta do stuff you don't like. I have a friend with drug problems, sometimes you have to seem professional help for them. I know you don't want to see him get hurt by him getting his son taken away from him, but sometimes it's the only way.

In other words:

If you can seek professional help, request that the child stay with you until the problem is solved. Sometimes a father/mother love is strong enough to stop addictions. If he doesn't know the child is with you, maybe he'll have a mental break-down and stop doing it. But on the other hand, please be carefull and monitor him, cause sometimes it causes for suicide too.

Drugs are a very threatful thing, and this matter should in no way be taken lightly. Help him, or help his son (it's VERY hard to do both). But whatever you do, do it with caution.

Answer 3

First thing, the kid needs not be around nor see that! Your brother is old enough to know he's killing himself. If he wants to stop so he can at least live for his son then there are people who can help him. Rehab centers or drug counseling. You can find some on line in your area. Google works wonders if you dont know exactly what to type. Or there is always jail. They will force him to go through counseling, drug tests and all.

Answer 4

He needs ot go to rehab, sorry but there is only so much everyone else can do to help him. He has to want to help himself first.
about his little boy, get him out of there if thats the only thing you can do you shouldn't let him live like that, and you never know maybe loosing his son might make him change his ways.
Drug addiction is a hard thing to beat

Answer 5

Firstly, is this a real situation?? If he's imagining things, He's simply trippin'. Crack addiction is a state of mind after you've detoxed for three days. This is true!
Oh, REMOVE that child from the guy. It'll either make 'em or break 'em. Your Brother that is.....

Anoni.

Answer 6

Once he gets busted and goes to jail and becomes a convicted felon ne 'll start to change...However, he has got to want it. He can get back without jail time it just takes his sorrow to lead the way.

Answer 7

there is a program for him called narcotics anonymous
it has helped hundreds of thousands of people
they have over 33000 weekly recovery meetings in over 123 countries
if your brother wants help.. they can help him help himself

as for you there is naranon its a program for family and friends of addicts.
both are non profit and fully self supporting

Answer 8

talk to him about it. my brother was addicted to prescription medicine and overdosed once and almost died. you don't want that to happen! try to get him help in a rehab or somewhere. and pray for him! lol...but seriously

Answer 9
