I'm sorry for your loss Cathy.
I am glad you found us tho - there's a great wellspring of support here.

When I think back to my drinking days I think I was, for all intents and purposes, insane....

I'm sure you were a magnificent sister and source of support - this is not your fault - and I'm so sorry it ended this way.

Sorry for your loss.


Same age as me. I read this with a chill going up my spine thinking there but for the grace of God.

I'm sure your brutally honest post will find readers that it can truly help.

So sorry for the loss of your brother. What a sad sad story.
This could be me if I pick up the bottle again. Just not as young here.

Thank you for sharing the story with us. It is a painful reminder of where alcohol will take us left unchecked.

My deep condolences, and sincere thanks for sharing that tragic story. It hits very close to home for most of us, a vivid reminder of where we were headed.

That's terrible Kathy, my thoughts are with you.
My brother also passed a similar way aged 45. What a terrible blight on the community alcohol can be.
