Very sorry to hear sobermax. Blessings to the young daughter. A sad but very real reminder that alcohol does indeed take lives physically and metaphorically.

Prayers for you & your family, sobermax. So needless - but it could've certainly been me too.

A part of me is glad that her little one is young enough not to be scarred by this as she would have been in a few years.

Her mum & brother found her in bed.

Could have been me, could have been any of us.

Stupid, stupid tragedy. Thank god I'm sober.

So sorry to hear of your loss. I had a dear friend and a sister who died from liver failure due to alcoholism. All I could do was pray for them.
Hope there is someone to take good care of her daughter.
