I'm sorry MITA.
I'm glad you resisted the AV - its an obscenely opportunistic SOB.

He was to be married the end of August. It's tragic and our hearts are broken. He was the sweetest young man, and we don't really have all the details yet - totally blindsided by this. I'll admit that the thought of having a few drinks to manage has crossed my mind, but I have not followed through. It seems both stupid and inappropriate.

Don't mean to be a bummer, but I needed somewhere to share this. Thanks for listening.

Oh no, I am so sorry. That is so tragic. :( :hug:

Really sorry for that, MITA. Very sad.

Oh no MITA…So sorry for you and your families :( Also glad you did not turn to drink.

Thirteenth 07-31-2022 05:47 AM

I'm so sorry MITA. Prayers to all affected.

Thanks everyone. We are still trying to find some solid ground to stand on this morning, as I'm sure you understand. I'll head to the gym for a little barbell therapy. I'm not sure how productive a session it will be, but it will be a good distraction.

Take care.

So sorry this happened Mita. Drinking is the old Mita. Don't do it!!!

I must now add some sad information. The brother of a former colleague recently passed. She's younger than me and I figured her brother was around my age or a bit younger. He was 35, younger. In reading the obituary I learned that he had a long battle with alcoholism; succumbing to complications. I didn't know him but feel dreadfully for his sister and family. It very easily could have been me. I'm upset in a way that I cannot express.

Caramel 07-31-2022 06:12 PM

Sympathy, Thirteenth.
Take gentle care of yourself.

Purplrks3647 07-31-2022 06:31 PM

Wow Thirteenth…..sorry to hear your news as well :(. Sad and scary that this takes so many lives! :confused:

Stay strong 13th.

Caramel 08-01-2022 01:53 PM

Hope all is well with PJ and the dawg :peek

Dee74 08-01-2022 04:15 PM

I'm sorry 13th.

Its upsetting to me, even now, to see addiction take another life - all the more reason to do everything we can not to end up another sad statistic.

Prayers to 13th and MITA.

I have been off the grid. A fav auntie died Sunday...it was on the cards, she was hospitlaised recently for a bad fall and caught COVID. Whilst her death is sad and I grieve for her, my little voice of bad tidings kivked in. My aunties family, warts and all are rallying, which is great. On my day of being revived/placed in an induced cma, my family were nowhere to be seen. I felt such a feeling of sadness anf loss. A culmination of everything I have fought or worked through, memories,etc. This is not, I think self pity. It just is.

PhoenixJ 08-03-2022 04:13 PM

She was 90.

Dee74 08-03-2022 04:30 PM

Sorry again for your loss pj.

Sincere sympathy on the loss on a favourite aunt, PJ.

beerbgone 08-04-2022 06:31 AM

Thirteenth 08-04-2022 07:14 AM

Sorry for your loss PJ.
