I am grateful to be alive & sober today. I buried a best friend last weekend from a heart attack at just 54. All I could think of was wow, I began drinking at 53 for 10 years. I had 10 more years than him and wasted them drinking. I won’t waste another day. So very grateful for strength in putting drinking behind me one day at a time.

I'm so sorry! I'm 54. It's super scary. Was it from drinking? My sincerest 
condolences.

No, it wasn’t alcohol related. Thankfully albeit still difficult. Life is so short & when I am now experiencing loss of family or friends for any reason my age and younger it’s a reminder to remain sober, count my blessings and be grateful. Thank you for your condolences both of you.

Sad about your lost and your friends being so young
Last year my brother had a heart attack and he was only 44 years young and I'm 44 now so it's scary due to the evidence but I went to the doctor and receive an opinion and I'm not die in and I lost 2 baby's of baby fat new born
So that's nice to know but I just never know how my life going to go but today I just wanna continue to be sober cause come this fall will be 20 years in this process and it's just like day one wit less people in my life now but keep it simple trust in the higher power clean house and if you can help somebody is my process
Thanks fa letting me ramble
