Powerful account, and I'm so glad to hear your brother's okay for the moment, and hopefully he'lll continue to be. I'll keep your brother in my thoughts and prayers.
Saying prayers for my friend Phil, may this be his last battle with his demons, and is on the road to recovery and a sober life. With you by his side I know he is going to get better.
Matt, Thank you for providing an update on your brother. I am so sorry for his distress and that he is unable right now to be himself. As much as the substances have taken away from him, the special person that is within has been unmistakable throughout your posts.
I admire as well your relationship and the support you give Phil. I think, how do I know that? I am not there. But your attitude is entirely selfless, so there is not even the question of favorable self-presentation in your accounts. Some of the same qualities that make you a good journalist make you a good brother. Or maybe it is vice versa.

I think about your brother often when I see panhandlers on the Ike ramps. I send prayers for his sobriety and for your steadfastness in loving him.
