Yes.

My brother started out having a problem with alcohol. He got help for it, but the addiction again began with prescription drugs. After he received rehab the second time, he was good for several months before slipping.

My brother is now dead from his addictions. Not a day goes by that I don’t think about him and blame myself for not doing more for him. I miss him more than I ever thought possible.
