My father died today, cirrhosis of the liver

My father died this morning at the young age of 66 from cirrhosis of the liver.

1 yr ago today was my DUI accident resulting in 1st degree vehicular homicide, most of you know, it was my best friend of 25 yrs who was killed in my passenger seat.....ironic.

I will face today sober....I hope we all can.

I am still here and I am determined to make a difference. I have to turn this around and make something good come out of these 2 deaths in my life.

Your car reminds me of mine after hitting a concrete culvert sitting on top the ground 21 yrs ago. That was in FEB 1990. Then i got sober Aug.1990. A many one days @ a time added together to get me where im at today.

Wishing u well.

Gr8 I'm so very sorry for the losses you are facing today. Alcoholism is an awful disease that affects every aspect of our lives. My prayers are with you and your family during this difficult time.

I am so sorry for your loss, G42day. I hope it is some comfort that by remaining sober, you can give meaning to his death, and also the death of your friend.

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

I'm so sorry for your loss I look at my recovery as a way to honor those who didn't make it, including my XABF. I tuck them in a special place in my heart, and take them with me on "recovery road".

Hugs and prayers,

Amy
