I saw that....very sad.

I can't be grateful enough to be sober. I really could never express how blessed I am.

Greg was fighting the sobriety/relapse battle for a while. This news sheds some light on just how deadly a relapse can be. Hopefully the silver lining in his passing can be some renewed willingness for those of us unwilling to commit to sobriety.

RIP Greg. You'll be missed.

It can be seen in the lives of many celebrities/well known people. I guess it tends to have more impact on a greater number of people due to their popularity. Maybe, more people will learn from his untimely passing. Have known far too many people/friends to leave this world due to their addiction. Last one was a friend from childhood. She lost her children, family, income, family, and lastly, her life (hepaticencephalopathy (sp?)). She passed quietly with her family there....... Hopefully, for one who passes, others might be spared such an end. If we could all just learn from the mistakes of others. I realize that is asking far too much, though. One can always hope!

My sympathies to his family and loved ones...............Loss is never easy, regardless of the circumstance.......
