After 3 and a half years in the bottle...
Well, I think it is finally time. I lost my brother and cousin in a car wreck. We all worked together, played together... And it is still hard to cope with it, but cope with it I must. I have a family and business to run. I can't say that drinking didn't help to cope when I was utterly destroyed by this event, but it took a life of it's own after awhile... So, it's time to make a change.
Welcome Willybilly, Sorry to hear about your loss's , But Glad you decided life in a Bottle won't help . No amount will bring them back . I'm sure they wouldn't want you to damage your life & health with drinking either

Lots of wonderful caring people too. Some may even share the same loss as you have . Wishing you the best in your journey to get Sober .

My youngest sister was killed by a drunk driver when I was already sober, and that was just 13 months after my dad died. Thankfully I had been sober long enough that I didn't have to drink over those losses, although that was still my first thought; instead I kept close to my recovery program and worked through the grief. I was also able to offer what support I could to my mother and my surviving sister.
I think drinking would have prevented me from recovering from those losses and I'd still be struggling with them.
Welcome to SR; this is a good place for information and support!

Willbilly, so sorry for your losses. I sadly can relate..lost my only bro sudden/tragically as well. Honestly alcohol only made it worse surpressing the grief so i'm hoping you can ride out the grief part w/out it.
