I held the hand of an ex as she passed on from Cirrhosis......all the love in the world won't make a difference.

Good article! Great writing!

That is something that seriously resonates with me, too
.
There are a lot of severely damaged people on here.
In the beginning, it scared me, soo many fucked up folks, mentally.

d's and s's alike, If you, they did learn from their experience, took therapy of some sort, it is an other story...
When you are aware of your own pitfalls.

That is something people, the new ones, especially, should be very aware of.

I know that feeling of having a trainwreck in my life. Also, I've been a trainwreck in my life. neither of them was easy to deal with. Death by slow torture I always said, would be the way I would pass my days. Until I got it together and said I had enough. Thanks for this piece. It was thought-provoking and made me wonder "what if'? X0x0x0x

Agreed - drink doesn't mix with this lifestyle.

Luckily, that's never been a problem for me (I simply don't like alcohol) or anyone around me, but I've heard more than enough from others, including my mother about her father's family before I was born.

Alcohol is a huge problem for society, but I don't advocate for prohibition. The problem is that alcohol is every where and anyone can get it including kids and teens, but we don't teach them how to use it responsibly.
Not drinking is a personal choice for me, it is about control, and also about understanding. You're the same person drunk and sober, only one of those states gives you "social permission" to be an asshole.
I'm an asshole all the time, so I don't need alcohol or societies permission to be who I am.

Using any kind of substance, to flatten the curce, so to say,
be it, drugs, medication, food, alcohol, is just a way to hide the pain, you feel inside
Is what i have learned about my drinking.

It was a hard lesson, to learn.

I am happy, i got this far!
