There has been one painful thing I have had to watch nearly my whole life, and it’s my brother’s alcohol problem. Every once in a while, a drink or two is perfectly acceptable, but there comes a time when it gets to be too much. Last season when we bowled together, he depended on alcohol to perform. It was no longer a mere intoxicant, it was now part of the fiber of his being. It has been sad watching his destructive behavior for the majority of my life, but luckily he has found a good wife that cares about him. That was the first step, the next was finding alcohol treatment for more support. Though there is still room for improvement, I am really proud of the progress my brother has made towards finally kicking his dependency on alcohol.
