Very sorry to hear about your BIL.
Sadly, everybody gets touched by this in some fashion. Either as the person who suffers from Alcoholism/Addiction/Depression, as a family member or friend, as an employer or fellow employee, or as an innocent person who is involved with a DUI accident.

Suicide is never the right answer.
There is always hope and tomorrow is a new day...one that might bring joy and satisfaction and serenity. It can take work but I have seen people who were literally in the pits of despair make that hard call and totally find peace and happiness after admitting they have a problem, reaching out, and doing the work. It really is amazing.

Both AA and NA are recognized as being great organizations, and now a lot of their meetings are virtual.

There are a lot of good counselors and services in the space coast area for people who are suffering from depression.
Taking the first step by going through your employeers EAP program, talking to your doctor, or calling a helpline as linked below is a great decision that can change lives.

We all have issues, it is just part of being human.
There is no shame in getting help.
