What can someone do to help prevent an individual from relapsing after going out of inpatient alcohol rehab?

I’m scared that my brother will go back to his old ways once he goes out of alcohol rehab. I know it’s his life to live, but being that I care so much for him, I get hurt whenever he does something that is harmful to himself. I want to know what I can do to help him continue on being sober..

Recovery is a constant struggle. You’re right that it is your brother’s life to live. It’s his choice whether he would let himself fall prey to temptations or if he would strive to stay sober. What you can do is let him go on the path that he chooses to take. Sometimes, someone needs to experience firsthand the consequences of his actions before he realizes something. You can offer him your love, support, and understanding, but other than that, you have to let him deal with this. I hope he doesn’t relapse. Good luck.
