My brother struggled with addiction since he was 13. The past two years have been the worst, and he tried getting sober so many times. Every resource we were told was available didn’t take him. He was labeled his entire life—subjected to being kicked down every time he tried ti stand in his two feet.
On his 32nd Birthday, November 15, I found him dead in my bathroom covered in vomit. He was brain dead when I found him, but I did CPR for over 10 minutes until the paramedics arrived. I never gave up on you, Eddie. I never will.
