It had been several weeks since he passed. I was struggling with the reality of it all and my future.
I was determined to find the answer in the bottom of a bottle.
By bottle #5(of wine) I had decided to end my life.
The only clear thought I remember is reading how if you hang yourself you can decapitate and how my remaining kids may find me that way the next day. I could not bring myself to do that to them.
I googled "I want to quit drinking" and ended up at a forum site, WQD.
I posted some long crap drunk out of my mind. I'll never forget the almost immediate answer to my post.
"Hang on Andrew, the others will be here soon"
They came. I was not alone.
That was June 2, 2006, 9 years ago today.
