[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]5 times in 2 years is a lot. I have a BIL who is also a recovering alcoholic. My DH only had to rescue him once, including a stay at the hospital. Can't imagine 5 times! I would lovingly tell your husband that he is being an enabler and if something does not change, one day his brother is not going to make it to the hospital. He needs to tell the brother that his assistance comes with a price of admitting he has a problem and getting in treatment. If treatment is too expensive (although some do take insurance as a pp mentioned) insist on daily AA meetings. Maybe your DH can go with him if that's advisable. I don't know. I am sorry OP this is really a tough situation. [/quote] I agree completely. Maybe DH's parents know this and don't want to enable BIL any longer. How many times is DH going to sit by his side through this? And he claims there is no problem? This is enabling. [/quote]
