Three days later my step mom asked my brother and I to clean out his bedroom and in the closet we found a freshly bought case of beer with 4 beers missing! He just couldn't stop! He was only 51.

His dad died a similar death, it just took longer. I always tell myself that I'll stop before I get to that point, but in reality who know's when that point is...stopping right now, for good, is our best chance of surviving this disease. Ironically, I woke up with huge cravings this morning...something about the cool, fall weather, football, UFC fights and pretty much anything else sometimes that just triggers that AV...

Sometimes I feel like it's my destiny to die a drunk like all the men in my family...how messed up is that???

Have a great one everybody!!!
Scary stuff. That's not your destiny, ultradad. That's a terrible lie coming from AV. Addiction can make us feel so defeated.

I hope you have a great day too
