This disease kills
I just wanted to put this out there. I meantioned it in another post, but I thought I'd dedicate a thread to it. We had a 20 something year old man that was coming to our group over the past couple of months. He was down here living with a relative and trying to get clean and sober. like most of us when we get here, he had a mess to clean up in his life, but I guess it was more than he could handle. About a week and a half ago he took off without warning. He was found dead yesterday of a drug overdose. He had apparently been dead for the past 5 days. I know I've seen this disease take a number of lives over the years, and it never ceases to stun me. Anyhow, just a healthy reminder. I know I've got another drunk in me, I don't know if I'd make it back. The last time out gave all indications that I wouldn't, that the odds are seriously against me making it back to AA. So, I'd best keep my ass in the chair every day. I don't want to die so that someone else can have it.
