Alcohol took another friend

Just found out a friend who has been struggling is dead. So sad that there was nothing I could do. She wanted to drink more than she wanted to live.

Such a ******* waste. I hate this disease.

So sorry lost one too last week. Lost another one last year. It is sobering and sad. Took me awhile to grip that I have to continue to be vigilant. Addiction does take over. The last friend was told he would die if he continued. That was one week before his death. Thouts and prayers with you.

RIP Peace my friend. I will always remember your kind and gentle ways. You were a good person that was very sick but there will always be a place in my heart for you.

She told one of my favotite jokes,

A guy falls off a cliff and grabs a tiny root that will break any second.

He calls to God and says God please save me

This voice from Heaven comes down and says just let go and I will catch you

The guy says is there anyone else up there I can talk to?

MIR - I'm so sorry for your loss. I just lost my stepmom to addiction.

BTW, I do love the joke

RIP your dear friend.

Hugs and prayers,

Amy

I take solace in the idea that alcoholics and addicts I've known that passed find eternal peace.

So very sorry to hear that. Such a sad reminder just how serious this disease really is. She can be at peace now.

Big hugs your way.
