Reality = sitting in ICU due to S.O. and alcohol
 

The friend / ex bf / complicated relationship is in critical but stable condition right now. He's on a vent and unconscious. This is because of his sodium levels that were dangerously low due to massive drinking. He could die. I hate seeing him like this. It is a true wake up call for me personally with my own alcohol issues. I hope he pulls through and wakes up as well.

If you're considering drinking picture your loved one on a vent, blood poring out of their mouth from biting their tongue during a seizure. Bite bad enough that blood was almost needed.

That drink is Not worth it.

I'm so sorry Sinderos.

Sorry to hear about your ex, hoping for a successful recovery for him.

I'm so sorry, Sinderos. :hug:

I hope that he pulls through okay and that this will never happen again

I'm sorry for the circumstances you and your ex are in. :( I hope he makes a full recovery and lives clean in the future. :hug:

So sorry to hear about this. Praying he makes a full recovery and gets clean. It is most certainly a wake up call to how destructive alcohol is to us. It's simply not worth it.

Sinderos, I hope things go well this evening.

I'm so sorry, I am sending lots of prayers your way that he is ok.

He is in ICU. He's still critical on the vent. He's hooked up to all kinds of machines. I'm staying here with him tonight. They actually allow one person to stay. He has no one else and I'm not leaving him all alone!!!

You are a good friend. I know he is comforted by your presence.

Really sorry sinderos, let's hope he makes it.

I hope he has a quick recovery. You are an angel for staying with him.

Sending positive thoughts your way. Hopefully the physical recovery is full as well as his recovery from alcohol.

So sorry to hear about your friend, Sinderos! I think if any of us were spend any time in an ICU job shadowing or just visiting loved ones it would make us think twice a bit more often. The grim reality is that there are so many alcohol-related deaths every year.

God bless you for staying with him.

Sending love, hugs and prayers your way

That's awful, Sinderos! I hope your friend pulls through and gets help.:grouphug:

My thoughts are with both of you. ICU is a scary place.
