He sounds just like my brother who died at age 62 from many, many years of drinking. It’s sad....a waste of a life and yet with all the help and support out there....you have to want to become sober and stay that way. My brother had a million reasons why it was impossible to stay sober...he died years ago and yet I still cry for him and others who find it too difficult to stop drinking...........
Alcohol is just as bad as drugs.
Alcohol abuse is unfortunately a lot more prevslent than drug abuse but they are both equally horrible especially for the young.
I like a drink every now and then myself but I always keep it in check. No more than two beers and no more than two drinks of hard liquor at any one time unless I am at home and not planning to go out anywhere. But those drinking occasions are becoming less and less over time. I guess the need for alochol when one gets much older decreases. And I never ever do drugs and I never ever combine alcohol with drugs because that is a true recipe for disaster. I am clean and sober and every day I feel great and ready to face a new day. I try to plan ahead. There is not a day that goes by when I thank God that he gave me great parents whose value system was traditional, with a sense of principle, most times rigid and strict but now because of it I certainly can appreciate their efforts.
