He got really mad when he knew that his parents knew, in about 20 seconds he called the police, took the sim card out of his cell phone, went into his room and got all of his money, and went outside to wait on the police. He was high then. What had happened was that my dad was making a statement, not literal, but he said, " If you bring drugs into this house again, i might have to kill you." That's when he freaked out. He has gotten in trouble before and we have taken him to at least a hundred Narcotics Anonymous and Alcoholics Anonymous meetings. Yet he still hasn't changed. We won't pay his bond because we think that the drugs will take control of him and he might do something he will regret doing. BTW, the drugs were some kind of pills and pot.

He doesn't think he has a problem. He thinks everyone else is the problem.
All the narc-anon and stuff is a waste of time until he realizes he needs help.
All gel-heads eventually steal from family, or will talk about the family house while they are stoned at a party and the local hoods will rob the place. Please tell your parents about this fact... it came into play when my own brother was doing this. Nothing rivals the shock of coming home to a ransacked & robbed house.
I would suggest that you and your parents spend some money on a good deadbolt locks for your bedroom doors. Your parents also need to turn their closet into a safe with another deadbolt lock and reinforcement on the door frame. They need to have one hand-gun in that closet where they can get to it, but anything else needs to be wrapped and hidden in the attic.
An alarm system would also be in order.

Sadly he will not quit until he is ready to for himself. AA and Na cannot cure anyone they are just religions and honestly he would be better off going to church. I don't know about NA but AA admits in the Big Book that it is just a copy of Christianity only one that you don't have to give yourself to Jesus. Being sober is all that matters while other religious morals are cast out the window.
Powerless is the doctrine of AA and it is wrong because everyone even those who give AA credit get sober on their own. AA has the same success rate as those who quit without help.
I don't have an answer for you but he will just have to decide for himself when he is ready it may take going to prison or facing deat a time or two. Sorry I wish I could help.

As long as you are not blood related and are legal adults, you can do whatever you wish. Don't tell anybody that you two plan on getting married until you start paying for the wedding because some of them will try to talk you out of it.

I don't know what your question is. Until your brother wants to help himself, he won't. It doesn't matter what your parents do, he won't stop, he's addicted. They can put him a treatment facility, or just refuse to let him live there. They are endangering the rest of the family.

Let him sit there and rot. He needs to learn somehow.
