Hi Melissa, I’m sorry to hear of your brother’s troubles and I’m wishing you all the best.

I think what has helped me is having three generations of opioid addicts in my family. I have a lot of experience and understanding that it’s a disease.

Bless you for being nurturing and loving to your daughter in spite of her addiction.
