You bring up a very valid point. My mom was diagnosed with lung cancer over a year ago. As accompanied her to her appointments and treatments, I began to realize that I was wasting my life staying drunk and running from everything. How would I feel if I was told now I have to fight for my life? Then I realized I did need to fight for my life because I gave all of my power to alcohol. It ruled me and I knew it would kill me. But I still had a choice. The cure for my illness was to just stop drinking. Do I want to live? Yep. Life is precious and I forget that when I'm drinking or hungover (I was rarely anything other than). Thank you...and my condolences to your boyfriend.
