FF, Im a rider as well, and as corny as it sounds, I am very saddened by any news of anyone not surviving an accident. I had a friend die in front of me on a ride, I cant say I know exactly what you are going through but its probably pretty close.
One little slip isnt worth beating yourself up over, youve seen the benefits of being AF, now get back up on this horse with all of us.
Terribly sorry for your lossLiving on Planet Sober since 05/02/11

FF I just wanted to say how truly sorry I am for your loss. I can't imagine what pain you must be feeling right now. Don't beat yourself up over the AL....it's only 1 day out of 3 months. Your success is inspiring. I will pray for you and your family during this most painful time.

What a difficult time you must being having!!
Grieving is an emotional roller coaster, you have a journey ahead of you. A mixture of anger, feeling numb and sadness! Take each day as it comes, try and remember all the happy times with your brother. If I could take some of your pain I would.
Having to identify your brother and tell your mum and Dad must have hard. You will be surprised how strong you can be!! Make sure you always talk to others and there is always someone here on line. And I know Alcohol is not the answer to loosing a sibling!
Take care Rocks x

I am so sorry
Hi FF,
I have too lost my brother.........it was heart breaking. I was the eldest of the family so assumed the role of looking after everybody, my parents, my sisters and my children all who loved my brother more than anything.
A year later I had a breakdown all because I kept on pushing down my feelings while I was trying do look after everybody, and I was drinking like a fish. And it did all catch up.
Feel your feelings........I know it is hard Dude but you just have to do it!!!
Otherwise you could end up like me as I was a few years ago............still hurting from something that had happened along time ago.
I still think of my brother every day but now I think about love not hurt.
Take Care AND much love cos I know what you are going through SHAS xxxxShas
Just keep on swmming, just keep on swimming!

Sorry to hear of your loss mate. I ride myself, and have had similar experiences.
Do what you have to do. Don't worry about the drinking. Just be wary, and make sure it isn't doing damage. Obviously you'll be taking care of family, but also, take care of you.
Get back on track soon as you can. Take care, Greg.

Oh FF - I am SO sorry to hear about your brother. And that you have to be the one to break it to your parents - like many others here, I ride too - so it hits even harder. You must be devastated. I am feeling for you. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. SO sad. The Al will take care of itself - right now, you need to take care of your family and be there for your parents. Hang in there my friend. Hugs to you :l:l
Love, Sun XHow simple it is to see that we can only be happy now and there will never be a time when it is not now....
