Hi, this is my first time posting here and i’m not sure if it’s the right place to do so. My brother is 3 years older than me and has struggled with addiction since high school. During college he got into xanax, percocet, and then fentanyl. I don’t have an exact timeline but the past few years he’s been using fentanyl on and off. He has been in and out rehabs, detoxes, etc. He’s had multiple jobs but ends up losing them to move or go to a rehab. Right now he’s openly telling me he’s using, and that he’s smoking fentanyl. He tries to make me feel better that he’s not using needles for anything. It’s so exhausting to worry about him. I don’t even know why i’m posting here. I guess i just want some sort of insight, or advice. Even a way to understand what’s going through his mind. Is there any hope? Some days I feel so hopeful he will push through and other days like today I’m so discouraged and fearful.
