[quote=Anonymous]I have a drug addict brother, and I think you are being a little harsh.  If he is currently in a sober living facility, personally I would think that it was okay, given that rules were set.

1.  The sister should be asked how long he has been sober. If she explodes at the question, do not let them come.  If she talks about it rationally, then let them.

2.  There will be absolutely no driving of the car, and the keys will not be out of my sight (don't give them to your kid, that is a bad idea in general, and is really not good in this situation).

3.  If there is any indication that he is drinking, he is gone.  Period.

4.  Any other behavior rules if there are other issues that he has - does he curse?  No cursing.  etc.

Otherwise, I would have no concerns if the problem is alcohol (I have others with other drugs as remission occurs differently; for instance, in my house, as crack is the problem, I would not give my brother the key as I want to be able to control entry to the house and determine whether the situation has changed, as the effects of these drugs manifest differently).[/quote]
