I'm so sorry for your loss Cathy. Your post gave me shivers and I know it's of little comfort to you but your post will help so many others. It may help to save lives. It's so easy for us to glamorise alcohol. Your post cuts through all that. Reminds us that alcoholism is a brutal, unforgiving disease and if we're lucky enough to get a chance at recovery, we've got to grab that chance with both hands and never ever take it for granted.
I am so sorry for all you have gone through. Thank you so much for sharing your story. I just said a prayer for you and your brother. Wish I could do more.
