He might be learning his lesson. Only time will tell.
Answer by ppaper.wingss
There are several “stages” for addicts. They are:
precontemplation, contemplation, decision, action, relapse, and maintenance.
It sounds like your brother may be taking the first steps towards change. Many times, situations such as jail can push people forward into the contemplation that they may need to get help for their addictions. It’s great if this is the case, but your brother will need to realize (as will the rest of your family) that this is a lifelong process that often includes relapses. I hope that your brother will permanantly stop his abuse of drugs and/or alcohol and I wish you well. I think his words show a lot of potential and promise. Try to be supportive when he is released. Best of luck.
