and they still die. My friends.
S alone in a crummy room filled with empty bottles
V fell from a 12th floor balcony
B hit a bridge head on with his wife 3 children survive.
Untreated alcoholism kills. No exceptions.
Please do not muck around with
"Am I?" or "Yes, but" thinking.
Recovery requires action.

The *S* I knew in a crummy room filled with empty bottles was named Stan.
He committed suicide. I found him. He was my friend, and I miss him.

We can honor their memories by remembering the lesson they have offered us with their lives. We can keep _our_ program strong and healthy so that nobody ever has to mourn us the way we mourn them.

I had an adult freind who I knew passed away from Liver Failure, from alcoholism a few years ago. He was such a great guy, good freind, he would give the shirt off his back if you needed it...
I lost another good freind in an automobile accident due to alcohol use....
When I abused alcohol after that I always felt like death was right around the corner for me. I was so on edge. With the cycle of dehydration, blood sugar, and my own anxiety, and dealing with the death internally one morning when I was hungover I had a violent panic attack . I thought it was a heart attack. I remember thinking this is it... Not to change the thread but anyone who has high anxiety or panic attacks knows what I am talking about.
One more reason to stay away from that "crap"

I'm very sorry to hear that. An alcoholic friend of mine died about half a year ago, penniless and desperate. I still think it might have been suicide, but we don't know for sure.
The other mutual friends seem to be following in his footsteps financially and spiritually.

Uncanny, my brother was named Stan .. he died this year in April. I cried and cried and cried, BUT he is at peace at last. Alcoholism took him fast and hard, he was so miserable.
So sad, such a loss.
