Highs and Lows in sobriety - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

AvieG · 01-16-2004, 04:48 AM

After all the excitement of the news of my eldest daughters pregnancy, we were all devastated to hear that a fine young man, Chris, aged 16, a friend of my youngest daughter, and nephew of my eldest daughter's partner, passed away after three years of suffering from Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma.

It's just not right that parents should ever have to bury their kids, but at least I am grateful to be sober and able to be here to support his family if needed.
