It is so terribly sad but if you are in the recovery community for very long you have to get used to walking among the tombstones.

Why do some make it and others don't? Why did I make it? Why can't I drink like other people?, Why am I still alive after 30 years of drug and alcohol abuse?

The answer is, "I don't know." I do know the only person that can save me is me. It is me that has to take the actions necessary to get and stay sober. God will do for me what I can't do for myself but he won't do what I can.

I have lost a bunch of people in my six years and unfortunately I'm sure to lose a bunch more.

Alcohol wants us dead and it is successful far too often.

Prayers going out to you and all those who loved him
