My brother died the color of a lemon from this disease. Wouldn’t wish It on my enemy. I was stupid to fall into same trap. Almost 23 months sobriety and if anything triggers me I reach out to every person in recovery that I know. Not going to die like my brother did. It was heart wrenching. Another friend was found dead in his car bleed out from alcoholism. :scream: my heart. I loved those two and just happy for recovery.

He should be supporting your sobriety. My husband goes to have a drink if he wants one no. Nothing in this house. Sorry brutal honestly here.

Beth thank you. No drink is worth your life. I have a friend that just recently met at a meeting 39 in stage 4 cirrhosis. She is turning yellow. Breaks my heart and I hope it isn’t too late for her.

Words of wisdom, thank you! I’ve spent my morning reading quotes about success through failures.
