Zube, so sorry. Alcoholism kills. We often forget that. Prayers to you and the family

I am sorry to hear about this Zube. As best you can, be there for the survivors.

I watched alcoholism kill my brother, and the worst thing I did personally was not honor his memory with my sobriety in that first year. I am turning that around.

Being sober and focusing on your sobriety is a good tribute to your friend. Some might say selfish, but I disagree.

I don't think it strikes home for many of us until something like this happens. It's never pretty.

Sorry to hear.

Sorry for your loss. Unfortunately some die so others may live. This does not make the loss any easier but at least it makes a little sense.

If there is one thing I wish I could get across to new comers is the fatal nature of this illness. Alcohol wants you dead plain and simple and it succeeds far too often.

Take care and remember the goodness your friend brought to this world

sorry for your loss of your friend. It's so sad when one decides it's okay to go drinking again. Cant say much more then my prayers are with you and their family. Stay Strong, it's what your friend wants for you, to be happy and not go there.

Sorry for the loss of your friend, Zube. It's a hell a return to drinking always is, and for some its paid for with their lives. Sorry for your pains of a friend lost. Be well.
