I’ve been so busy working and getting ready for my daughters cheer competition at Disney World. I knew my friend was struggling with alcohol, 3 weeks ago she was let go and I was sad because we didn’t work together anymore. I kept in contact with her daily for the next three weeks and tried to tell her what i learned about alcohol and sent her my day counter to try and encourage her to quit. Today I was on my way home from Orlando, when I got a call that she didn’t wake up this morning. My heart is completely shattered, she was my support through all my hard times in life. I’m not ready to say goodbye to my dear friend. This more than anything makes me not want to drink. Alcohol took my friend

So sorry for you loss. I can't even fathom the amount of friends I've lost I can't say it gets easier losing people but I know for me it strengthens my urge to remain on the wonderful earth just a little while longer.

I worked in treatment and I had to hear these stories everyday. When it’s someone close to you it hits a whole lot different. But I was always told I can’t save anyone. They’re in a better place and don’t have to struggle now. My condolences to you.

What I learned was that alcohol has a goal. It wants to kill us. It’s a constant reminder of how serious this condition is. It actually took my mother years back. It’s VERY real.

Sorry for your loss. I have seen so many die from this disease on the installment plan or suicide. My alcoholism wants to tell me I don’t have it, then convince me to die. Cunning, baffling and powerful. Live for them

Alcohol took my mom at age 46. The hardest call was from her friend in treatment. I had to break the news to her. Don't let this be an excuse to take that drink. Stay strong. Hugs. Forever hugs.

I'm so sorry for what you are going through right now! Losing someone so close is like losing a piece of your soul! There wasn't a bottle Big enough to fix my broken heart? And I know there's nothing anyone can do or say to make you feel better right now, but you are definitely coping with this loss the right way by not drinking! Music, friends, family, love and definitely a good cry might help getting through? Proud of you, be safe
