I need advice on drug abuse….?

Question by theopholismmviii: I need advice on drug abuse….?
My brother has been taking vicodin regularly for the past ten years,he sometimes tells me he feels he’s addicted but because he doesn’t feel its extreme he won’t give it up, In all honesty he doesn’t hurt other people and he doesn’t rob people or steal for the pills,but I can see a difference in him he doesn’t and I don’t know what to say to him to make him see what he’s doing to himself,he doesn’t leave the house and is afraid to talk to people other than his immediate family, I love him very much and don’t want to alienate him but I am afraid for is health,.am i just being overbearing?
