You're right. And the truth is, there were so many other addiction related health issues beyond alcohol. A pack and a half of cigarettes a day, weed throught the day and near debilitating asthma. There have been too many nights to count where he'd wake up at 3am panicking to find his inhaler and I'd think that I'd need to rush him to the hospital. Or simply worried he'd be too drunk to wake up when he couldn't breath. Too many nights I'd have trouble sleeping wondering if he'd drunkenly fall down our steep back steps and break his neck trying to smoke another cigarette.
