Today, it's the last night before a concert. Today is also the day my brother pawned my clarinet for drug money. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, my little brother got a violin. FML
Today, the drummer from my band stole the $200 deposit for our rental practice space and used it for a trip down to Maryland with his girlfriend. A few hours ago, my brother and I found him passed out in his cousin's house, very hungover. His first words to us were, "Can I borrow 20 bucks?" FML
Today, I came home and was greeted by my dad telling me that he pawned my guitar for gas money. FML
Today, I was supposed to perform my first concert in front of a crowded audience. As we were about to go on stage, my band decided to roll a joint outside. The cops just happened to pass by, and now I'm on my own. FML
Today, I was short on money for bills, so I pulled out my alto saxophone, knowing that no matter how much I loved it, I'd be able pay my rent with the money. As I pulled it out of its case, the neck strap broke and I dropped it, breaking the bell beyond repair. Now I'm poor AND depressed. FML
Today, I remembered that the concert I bought tickets for over a month in advance was yesterday. FML
Today, it was the concert of my life. I had bought tickets the minute they went on sale, and I'd anxiously waited until the concert date. Thirty minutes before the show, my friend got so drunk that we weren't allowed in, and I was stuck babysitting her all night in the hotel, completely missing the show. FML
Today, my brother finally paid me the $60 he owed me. I later found out that he'd stolen those $60 from my wallet. FML
Today, my younger brother brought home his new bagpipes. My older brother plays the drums. I'm currently preparing to sit the most important exams of my schooling life. FML
Today, my little brother watched an old video of The Who, who are know for smashing up their guitars and such. He decided it would be cool to try it with mine. That guitar was worth over $3000. FML

Pawn his drugs to buy a new clarinet.

That's dangerous. The OP could be hurt/killed by someone buying the drugs or he could be arrested by the police for illegally selling drugs in the first place

Pawn his phone. Or better yet, pawn his clothes so he has to go buy clothes for himself instead of drugs or wear clothing thats too small

I jnow this great market, where you sell irresponsible siblings. You should find it, you'd be surprise to find out how much people pay for a grown ass drug addict.

Get him to rehab! Please!

OP I am so sorry this happened to you. Living with addicts is so tough and heartbreaking, especially when they are family. I hope he gets the help he needs to turn himself around.

That story will not fly why you missed the concert or came without your instrument

Rent one for the concert, start locking your things up until your parents get him in rehab or kick him out.

Beat the ever-loving tar out of that POS. Blood runs thicker than water? I call bullspit.

I'm both happy and surprised that none of the comments have suggested that you sue him yet. Your brother is a dick though. Sell his drugs for clarinet money.
