Sorry camedown. Alcohols a beast. A relentless, selfish, horrible monster that never gives up. Just be grateful you have the enlightenment to see it for what it is.
And you can never give up. It can be draining to be in a constant battle. But fighting for our lives is what we have to do daily.
Thanks for sharing. We all need to be reminded how damaging this disease is. You may have saved some from getting to the place your friends at.
Prayers for you & him.
