Guest cobainwasmurdered Report post Posted January 21, 2004 Today I went home to visit my parents and to help them with some heavy lifting since they aren't as young as they used to be. When I got there they were out but as it is was a pro-d day at his school my younger Brother was home. He's 16 and a good kid normally. I walked into the house (i still have my own key) and my brother was sitting on the couch snorting a line of Jib (coke). I didn't know what to say so I slammed the door and took off. I don't want to get him in trouble with my parents because I know how hardcore they are (my dad used to smack me around and my mom is a functioning alcoholic) but I know too many people who got fucked up because of hard drugs. I don't really know what to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2004 Alright, I'm seriously not joking, you should kick his ass. Not emergency room kick his ass, but you know. You're allowed to do that as his brother, and if you've had a good relationship it will probably get through to him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But a couple things. My brother has some really bad health issues. He has a heart condition and If i do anything like that he might have a heart attack, and that'd be not so good.

Guest Salacious Crumb Report post Posted January 21, 2004 (edited) Take the kid aside and see if you can talk some sense into him. If you have a good relationship with him you might be able to get through. EDIT: Saw the health problems thing, approaching it from the angle that he could set something off by doing drugs is another approach as well.

Guest Italian Stallion Report post Posted January 21, 2004 I have a lot of experience in this field. Especiall coke. I was around it all the time. ALL the time. Especially when I lived in New Jersey and for a couple months in New York. Coke isn't for everyone. Coming down on coke can be the worse thing ever. You seriously feel like shit. Thats what bad about coke. Its not long lasting and you keep on doing it because coming down on it is a whole new thing. Its expensive shit too. So if coke itself wont get him to quit maybe the money will. I know this probably sounds stupid but coke was in my blood. Not saying my mom did coke when she was pregnant with me or anything but coke was a wide used drug in my family. Non of them were addicted but have tried it. My friends did it around me therefore on occasion I did too. I was able to handle it unlike others though. I can take one line and not do it for a while. And Im talking weeks or months. And other friends were on coke for 15 hours a day. Your paranoid as fuck and you cant sleep. I haven't done coke in a long time and since living in Cali I have made friends that are more than Italians. When living on the East coast, all I hung out was with Italians. When Italians have a group of friends we are some corrupt mother fuckers. As far as getting your bro off, try talking to him. Chances are that he won't be able to handle this shit in the first place. And if he does, hes only enjoying it. Try sitting down and seriously talking to him. We always had a rule to coke. If you snort lines to avoid coming down on Coke, then its serious and obviously a habit and he needs help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OldSchoolWrestling 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2004 CWM, please don't take this the wrong way. I think you need to take him aside and explain to him how fucked up your life has been recently. Don't hold back. Tell him everything. Tell him how screwed up your life has become and how want better for him. I don't know if he knows all of your problems but if he doesn't, let him know. He needs to hear it from someone who's been through it and how cares about him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zack Malibu 0 Report post Posted January 21, 2004 When living on the East coast, all I hung out was with Italians. When Italians have a group of friends we are some corrupt mother fuckers. People's ethnic background had nothing to do with any peer pressure/impressions your friends left on you that may have led you to try shit. That out of the way, CWM, the best result is to talk to him, maybe even give him some tough love. I don't mean kick the shit out of him, but maybe corner him, drag him out with you...basically keep an eye on him until you burn it into his head to straighten up. Really? Considering I was born on Federal Hill, am Italian myself, and hang with a predominantly Italian crowd (hell, I live in a predominantly Italian community), I'd have to say that Italian groups of friends are not all corrupt motherfuckers.

Guest Italian Stallion Report post Posted January 21, 2004 Sure, not all Italians are corrupt mofos. I was wrong there. Growing up, all my friend's were from the same backround. We grew up around violence and everyone I hung out with was Italian and always got into trouble. I dont know anything else. Thats what I experience. Our past were all similar and some how all ended up together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you guys have a good track record togeter he'll trust you more than he trusts anyone else in this world. Get the counsellor to talk about other drugs to, he must have had a few stepping stones.

Guest FrigidSoul Report post Posted January 22, 2004 I don't want this to come across as bragging because it isn't, but I use to hang around in an area where it was drug central, gang center, the whole main street of the neighborhood was basically a strip of bars, and they would find dead bodies all over the place. So what I'm getting to is the place you describe just sounds like drug addicts...which is pretty mild. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
