    Alcohol death

    One of my employees just came in very upset and told me her 40 year old nephew died last night as a result of years of alcohol abuse.
    A blood clot developed in his leg and went to his heart. He has left two teenagers orphans.
    I am very close to some of staff and she looked at me with tears in her eyes and said," I love you, and now I have seen in person what drinking too much will do to you. PLEASE stop......"
    Wow...sitting here very solemn at the moment.....
    I love my family more than alcohol.:h

    Thats a very poignant moment Mama B and how sad.
    Ethanol is a toxic chemical, why would I drink it?

      Powerful story mama bear - thanks for sharing. I think we have a tendency to sweep things like this under the rug, as that are an extremely powerful reminder what the outcome of alcoholism is. We want to think that we aren't that bad, or that it can't happen to us....

      The fact of the matter is that this is life and death struggle, and as your friend pointed out sometimes people lose the battle....

          shew. Sorry to hear that Mama Bear.

          While I was living in Mauritius for a couple of months similarly a colleagues brother in law and another colleagues (young lady) father passed away each on liver conditions due to their drinking.

          That's soo sad for the kids man!

          The journey is the goal. As long as you're fighting the good fight and you're not giving up on giving up, you're winning. It's not about how often you get knocked down, it's about how often you get up again. Sobriety the goal for sure. But striving to get to that goal is what it's about. Not getting there. Because the journey never ends. The journey is the goal.

            I wonder how much drinking you have to do to destroy your liver and develop blood clots????

                  OH, MB! Sending you hugs right now. It seems the first months of this year have held more than their share of sadness for us, and I know how this is affecting you, when you should be celebrating a milestone in your life with only happiness. It's obvious your co-worker cares about you, and wants you to be safe. Stories like this are a sobering, hopefully, reminder to us that life is too precious to poison ourselves. Love to you, hon. :hug:

                    Yeah. I understand how you feel. It makes you realise how fragile life is and how much risk we expose ourselves to. Sad, Sad.

                      Speaking from a place of isolation, I wish to encourage you to grasp this lifesaver.

                      I have spent my waking hours wondering who to contact for help. I just tried Camral. No relief. Prior to that Topa.

                      This is a disorder from hell.

                      I called off work today.

                      For whatever reasons you have to live, please reach and embrace what will keep your spirit alive.
