Need Everyone To Cross Their Fingers For My BIL. Please.

I'm hoping he ran into some bad friends knew he had to get clear so he threw them the keys and had them drop him at rehab and he just hasn't called because he didn't want y'all thinking badly... and

for you guys, I know how scary it is to have a not always ... responsible family member pull a disappearing act... scarier than child birth was by about 1000% IMO.

Thank you everyone!!

We found him today! He was at the shelter in Spfd.
So heres the story that he told us... he did go on a binge..
Last week a friend came over to his grandmas house at like 2 am and she had drugs on her and she gave him a hit... and once he took it.. that was it.. he was on a binge again.
He has been living with his parents up in Maine (they just built a house up there..)to get away from all the trouble here and start over. And hes been doing very good and staying clean and going to NA meetings...
But last week him and his father came down here cause the father had a doctors appt. and his "friend" saw his car parked at his grandmas house... and thats how it all started again...
The reason that he didnt call was because of shame. He said he lost everything and was just ashamed of himself.
He did give a dealer his phone.(thats the jerk who answered it and said, just give up....).. his fathers GPS system and some expensive computer stuff that had been in the van.. for drugs.
But then they jumped him and took his van.
So... thats where were at now with him. He said that hes going to stay in Springfield and get into a rehab program they have out there.. hes getting food at the shelter and he has to be clean to stay there. He has too check in at a certain time everynight...
He told his mother that he didnt want any money or anything because he'll just spend it on drugs right now. And that whatever he does.. if he calls up crying to come home.. do NOT take him back home... its the worst thing to do for him right now.
And i totally agree with him. I'll give him clothes and food... but never any money.
I dont want you guys to get the wrong impression about him... hes actually a very good person. Its just when he gets on drugs..he cant stop until some major thing like this makes him stop. He a very kind and gentle person that just likes to hang out and read a ton of books and go hiking and fishing... and he'll give you everything he has if you need it.
I actually really like him a lot and care about him.
Its just those dam drugs... evil, evil drugs that tear people apart.
Its hard to see a person that you love live this way... but its his choice right now.
All we can do is let him know that we still love him and that he has a family.

Anyways... thanks everyone for your well wishes...

I'll update as time goes on, on how hes doing and if hes staying clean.
