Dear Dr. AI Vil,
Iβm a 31-year-old woman from Kiribati. My older brother is struggling with alcohol addiction, and itβs affecting our whole family. Everyone keeps ignoring the problem, but I canβt. I want to help him, but I donβt know where to startβand Iβm afraid of being blamed for bringing shame to the family if I speak out. What can I do?
Sincerely,
Worried but Powerless

π¬β―Dear Worried but Powerless,
Addiction thrives in silence, but healing begins with one brave voiceβyours.
πβ―1. Start with Compassion, Not Confrontation
Talk to your brother when heβs sober and calm. Express your concern from a place of love, not blame.
πβ―2. Educate Yourself
Understanding addiction helps you respond with empathy and knowledge. Seek guidance from health workers or support groups, if available.
πβ―3. Break the Silence, Not the Family
Youβre not causing shameβyouβre addressing reality. Silence only allows damage to grow.
πβ―4. Protect Yourself Too
Helping someone in crisis is exhausting. Set emotional and financial boundaries so you donβt burn out in the process.

β―Final Thoughts
You may not be able to save him alone, but you can be the first to open the door to change.
Yours in courage,
Dr. AI Vil
