I lost my brother a year ago today from a cocaine/fentanyl overdose. I thought it would wreck me but it ended up helping me go sober.
When I lost my father almost 6 years ago I drowned myself in alcohol and drugs and I was so scared I would do the same when I lost my brother. I thought that when I stopped drinking that life would be boring and I wouldn’t enjoy hanging out with friends but it’s the opposite. I feel great and don’t even want to drink. When I do want to drink; I think about how crappy I’ll feel afterwards and the hangovers and missing out on a whole day Bc I’m recovering from the night before. I’m going to live my life for my dad and brother and make them proud.

Sorry about your loss, but in some way, this recent loss has turned into a positive thing for you. You’ve taken something from it instead of letting it tear you apart! That takes a lot! Congrats
