We don't always get another chance
 

Over the weekend a 22 year old young man made a decision that cost him his life. His actions reminded me of the really poor choices I made while drinking and the incredible luck, grace, destiny or whatever one chooses to call it - that got me through.

Another stark lesson that drinking leads to poor choices and at times irreversible decisions.

Horrific and sad.......

Oh dear God.

Yes, horrific and sad.

I am continually reminded "there but for the grace of God go I".

This is so heartbreaking.

Tragic. So sorry for his family & friends. And for the wasted life.

Eeesh! Sad and crazy

Once when drunk in Portugal 1 dived from about 10-12 metres up into the Atlantic, there were razor sharp rocks everywhere, sheer good fortune made me miss them. Didn't stop me drinking either at the time

I agree, yet hesitate to blame alcohol. The young man made several poor decisions that night. Drinking was one of them, and it cost him his life.

Poor choices has been on my mind for the last week. Sadly, that wasn't the first tie it happened this year. This one was about 2 miles from my home:

I have made terrible choices while under the influence I never would have made sober. Many,many mornings filled with disbelief over my choices of the day/ night before.
