I'm sorry your grandfather died BCBoy, but there's no reason for things to go downhill, unless you let them.

It's ok to feel sad and to grieve...it's natural to do that. Healthy even - it's tough and it's sad to say goodbye to those we love, but it's part of life.

Don't be tempted to avoid grief by doing whatever your drug of choice is - I'm guessing your family needs you right now.

best wishes

People close to me passing away has always hit me in a wierd way... But choosing to use your drug of choice can only make things more difficult most of the time... Sorry to hear about your grandpa. How are things going down hill?

Sorry for your loss BC Boy, but don't use this as excuse to use bro if thats what you mean by going down hill. Do it for your grama, do it for your family, but most of all do it for you. Hang tuff. Might be a good time to hook up with some sober freinds you will meet at those meetings.

Yes...it's sad to lose people you love.
I'm sorry for your loss.

Prayers for you and your family

There is no positive thing to be gained
by returning to your past addictions.

Please honor and respect his memory
by helping your family instead of messing up.

I am so sorry for your loss. My grandma died last month and I was very close to her growing up. And of course that started me drinking again every evening to drown my feelings. Don't do it, hang in there and grieve!

I am sorry for your loss...The grieving process is very difficult...Being under the influence just prolongs the agony of coming to acceptance of your loss...

I know, I have been there...At my mom's funeral, I was incoherent...I actually fell and broke my rib...The emotional pain did not STOP until I went through all the necessary roles of grief...AND SOBER...

Thinking of you...

My condolances on his passing, just keep in mind that the only thing booze and or drugs will do is drag out the pain of his passing and make you useless to yourself and others who are mourning his lose.

So sorry for your loss BCBoy-

I felt things were going to go downhill when my husband passed away-but it did not because it was up to me to not allow it too. Know that your Grandpa would not want you to drink-As others have said it will not make things better. Grieve and remember all the good things

Blessings

Sorry for your loss.

I never knew my grandfathers. They passed on before I was born.
What I have found when others around me have passed on is this...
When drinking, I was unable to understand feelings and emotions that were real.
Sober, I find I am better able to go through the grief and deal with it in a proper manner. Sure helps in the memory department, as we are better able to remember the good times faster.
Your grandfather would be proud of you for doing your best. Stay sober and honor his memory by doing so. You will see the blessings of doing so one day in the future.

Again sorry for your loss.

Good man , the best way to honour those who pass before us is to do good things in their memory , your grampa may well be aware of you and your efforts , I believe that anyway , all you can do is your best , one day at a time!

BcBoy87 I'm so sorry for your Lost but If is of any comfort,He is in a better place,Before my Aunt pass away at the begging of this year in January I remember calling her to wish her a new years day and I just told her that to remember Dying is winning,Now this doesn't mean Life Its over for you,I know in the Human part we feel, mourn if you must, cry if you have to, crying cleans the soul, tears are a Paradox,Human Emotions where giving to us for a reason to let us know that we are Human.
