My brother has had an addictive personality forever. A couple years ago he was addicted to painkillers and his friends and family held an intervention and got him off the pills. He is now a ridiculous alcoholic who at least once a week misses work for some obscure reason and drinks the entire day. Just yesterday (Saturday) at 9am he was already drunk from the bellini's he had been drinking.

It's one thing to have a drinking problem but my brother is DRIVING WHILE DRUNK often. Since on the weekends he starts drinking almost immediately upon waking up, he's on the road in the afternoon completely wasted. He also often leaves the house in his car at night too after drinking the entire day and we never know where he is even going that drunk.

My brother already has one DWI and no lesson learned. His friends have come to me for help this past week but I don't know what to do. I've contacted our local AA and MADD groups and AA basically told me to prepare myself with 'AA facts' so when my 'loved one is ready' I can properly help.

This is not good enough. I need to get him help NOW and I don't know where to start. I've thought about calling our police department and telling them about his drunk driving but honestly what would a second DWI even do? I am at a loss and need advice.
