Speak Up

My brother has broken my heart, he's been addicted to drugs for almost 10 years (since he was 15). His drug of choice is methamphetamine, but he will do just about anything. He doesn't work or support himself, thank god he doesn't have kids. He's psychotic and violent to family. I know I'm afraid of him. He's married to a drug addict that he beats... enough said. He is the type of person I want nothing to do with, I used to look up to him. He was smart, strong, and defended kids when they would get bullied. He won't even defend himself anymore, and is the weakest people I know. My motto "If you're weak enough to start how will you ever be strong enough to stop". he won't take help, the past 5 months he's been hospitalized 2 times for going into a amphetamine psychosis. Still refuses help, so I've decided I can't do it anymore. Its one of the hardest things I've had to do is learn how to understand and control my many emotions, and coming to terms with the fact that he will probably never be sober and will most likely die because of his addiction. How do you help someone who absolutely refuses help? Why won't he take the help??
