I lost a good mate to cancer a few years back - he was fit healthy never did anything immoderately, left behind a wife of about a year.

I was brutal on my AV. Had to be.

When my AV suggested I needed to drink to cope with this I reminded it that I was not dealing with anything 1/100 the pain and agony my friend and his wife were.

They weren 't drinking - I'm sure it never even occurred to them to do that. They wanted to savour every moment together they could.

I'm glad I stayed sober because it allowed me to do the same.

That was my takeway from that and it changed my life, in a good way.

The AV loves it when it gets a legit excuse - but there really are no legit excuses for people like us - and even of they were, this really isn't one of them, andagain
