I’m 19 days sober from alcohol. Lost a friend today that quit the rehab Monday this week and checked out of the rehab. She overdosed on Fentanyl this afternoon. Really struggling tonight. I already spoke with my sober coach and therapist when I found out.

I am soooo sorry. Stay strong!
Man that's tough, I'm so sorry to hear that. We both know that alcohol won't help and would only make things worse for sure. You can get through this way better sober brother, no matter how much it hurts. Hang tight, another day is right around the corner.
Sorry to hear about your loss. Do the right thing stay sober
I am so sorry for your loss. Sending love and prayers. The death of my mom at 2 yrs sober and my son at 4 yrs sober brought me back out so please take it from me stay connected.
Using doesn’t make anything better. Only worse.
Dude, that’s rough. I had something similar happen a few weeks ago. Keep your head up and stay strong. You can do this. Staying sober is the best and hardest thing to do right. Focus on the good times.
I’m not giving in to temptation. I’ve learned to value my life over alcohol these past 19 days.

So sorry for your loss..that’s tough..hang on..you’ll need to walk slowly thru it. I lost my family in 2016..I was sober..I was sober 6 more years and relapsed Aug 1. 2022, so April 30 is new sobriety date..9 months to the day..The 6 yrs since their deaths (and ex-, addict and psychopath passed in 2020.) I am on Day 6.of not ingesting beers I drank every day and fruity, fattening Creme drinks along with it (17% alcohol.) it’s expensive too, to drink. Just take it easy on yourself.
I’m so sorry Jeremy. I’ve lost several people I cared about from rehab over the years. It’s a sad reality we all have to live with once we reach a certain faze of our development with this disease. I’m glad to hear you’re sober and reaching out. You’re doing the work. Hang in there 
Sadly the majority of the people I went to treatment with have passed away. It’s been 12 years since I graduated and it’s still a shocker to hear a friend died.
Stay strong it’s hard but clearly you have a good resource here. I’m grateful for it

Ugh. 
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry to hear this, Jeremy.
That's tough!
I've seen many people through the years, leave this way when you least expect it. And that can just as easily happen to us too. Your friend believed the big lie that addiction tells us; that this time, everything will be okay. But it never is, is it? But you are still here. Remember when you have the urge that you have a choice.
I’m so sorry for your loss.. I truly understand. I just lost a friend to alcohol and drugs too.. prayers
