I would have rather thanked God that my brother never started drinking, smoking, or ingesting in the first place.
Sorry about your family members, too.
Alcohol and drugs are usually the subject of sophomoric responses and immature humour until you personally see the human devastation carried in their wake.
I have a nephew that burned his liver at age 34.
He’s sober now and trying to prove he’s worthy of a transplant.
How the hell does one burn out their liver that quick? He was an amazingly poor drinker, every day was a binge drunk.
