AF alot of you losses are in the past. I am sure it feels like a snowball effect. If you were able to grieve sober it may not seem so piled up now. Hard to tell someone not to use when they are in F it all mode. But i hope you can sleep it off and start again tomorrow. Be well
I could see peace instead of this

I'm praying for peace and comfort for you in this difficult time. Please take care of yourself. Going through this while drinking may make it seem easier but it will only prolong the pain and make you even less able to cope. We are all here for you.

I am so sorry Artfriend. What a terrible loss.
Tomorrow when you wake up, please forgive yourself. This was much too large of a test for you at this moment.
When you are ready, read of all the heartfelt messages, feel the compassion from everyone, and have compassion for yourself.
Don't hurt yourself by drinking any more.
Tomorrow will be a better day.

Hi Artfriend, I am so sorry to hear of this tragedy.
What I can say is when I suffered a loss, a dear loved one, my only loved one, I drank my way through.
But in hindsight I know she would have preferred me sober, so maybe try and honor your loved one with being fully present.
I am sorry, I know how heart breaking it is.
We are here for you.

I'd like to publicly apologize to ArtFriend and to the board. AF, I've sent you a PM. To the board, I'm sorry for my actions.
I've had some pent up anger and for no particular reason, I choose this thread and one other thread to let it out. That was obviously not a healthy decision. I won't make excuses; neither AF or the other thread starter deserved my wrath, and no one on this site needed to see my childish display.
I can see that getting sober will take a little more than just not drinking. Once again, please accept my sincere apologies, but I understand why some members may be less than forgiving.

I am terribly sorry for your loss, you have had to deal with so much. I have little experience myself, but with what experience I do have I can tell you that going through difficult times sober- despite the increase in emotion- is much easier.
