WHAT AL REALLY COST

[WA]

We all spend ages worring about what mistakes and what a pratt we make of ourself when drinking...well i know i do...but what does it really cost us and i dont mean money.
A very good friend of mine died too young...age 48...last week due to AL the day after i had had not so good liver results...will need more test Thursday.....I have spent a long time not knowing to post this news or not but have decided that should it sent a message to just one person it will be worth it.
When my friend died i sat here and got drunk after 7 weeks AF...... WHY?......SORRY CANT ANSWER THAT...
I send my love to all xxxxx

WHAT AL REALLY COST

Jacqui,
I'm so sorry to hear about your friend, and thank you for reminding us that we are playing russian roulette with our health. Everytime we drink, we poison our organs and steal nutrients from our body, until it can't take it anymore.

As for you~ you got drunk, there is no answer, you are right. You were grieving for your friend and that's what you did. If you need to be forgiven by somebody else, well, you're forgiven. :h

Much love to you today. :heart: If you want to write a tribute to your friend, I would be honored to read it.

Jacqui, so sorry to hear of your loss, and your lapse which is what it was, anybody, even
without a drink problem might get drunk after such a terrible loss. Just try and get back
on track.

Jacqui,
I am sorry for your loss. You are so right in saying that we do not often think of the damage that we cause to our bodies from drinking. Thank you for sharing this with us. I know that you have cerrtainly made me stop and think. I hope that you get good results on your tests and take the steps to regain your health!

WHAT AL REALLY COST

Jacqui - even tho I don't know u my heart is going out to you - I can't even imagine how you are feeling right now. As far as you drinking I can only speculate that you did it out of grief and wanted or needed a bit of relief that AL can give us for the first couple of drinks. It's a good way to drown any and all feelings if even for just a little while - but then when we sober up we still have the feelings only they are much worse because we feel so horribly bad that we drank in the first place.

Again I am so very sorry that you are going through what you are going through and thank you for posting this as a reminder to us all that AL not only steals our family, friends, jobs, money but also eventually our LIVES!!!!

Take care

That's a very sobering thought Jacqui - the bottom line is that alcohol can be a killer.
48 is nothing. And I can understand how drinking might have been the pain relief you needed.
Thanks for posting it. It's incredibly tragic but also potentially a life saver if it helps someone.

Love and hugs.

Jacqui

So sorry for your loss.

It's unfortunate that when we drink we only think of the short term gains and not what we are doing to ourselves long term.

Take care of yourself.
