My Alcoholic Brother



I am worried about my older brother. His name is Berny, and he works for a company in Majuro. He is an alcoholic. My brother enjoys going to work each day but doesn’t know that at the end of the week he’ll get a paycheck.With his paycheck he has to pay for food, the bills, and his clothes for work. The one thing he knows when he gets his paycheck is that he will pay for alcohol. My brother can drink five bottle of alcohol at one time by himself. My brother is a terrible person in my family. If he wants to drinks alcohol but doesn’t have money, then he’ll make trouble until somebody gives him money. My brother doesn’t care about dying or facing dangers. A few weeks ago, my brother went for drinks with his friends at a local bar. Two days later, he came back home injured because his right arm was bleeding. We covered his wound with pieces of cloth until it was covered. At that time he said, “I promise that I won’t drink any more in my life”. Next day, he was feeling better than ever. He went to work each day for two weeks. At the end of two weeks, he got his paycheck and forgot his promise. He went to drink at the bar and didn’t come back home at night. The other day he came in with a drunk and disgusting face. My brother is an intelligent person. But when he feels money in his hand, his mind is weak. My brother can’t change this habit in his life. Even now he is doing the same thing – drinking to get drunk.
