My Brother died from lver failure last week, due to years of drinking. low life,? no, lazy? no, never out of work, had a good career in business/engineering. very vain, always took care of his appearance. his flat last week looked like a murder scene, he looked dead even before he died.
he nevr thought he had a drink problem.
what I learned from his death and life re alcohol is that it can and has far more hold over you than you will admit, this hold is like a huge vice, such is its grip, the denial you will spout will consume you. by the time it has the grip, you wont know about it, it is not referred to as 'the demon drink' for no reason.
my Brother dies leaving kids behind who he hadnt seen for months and years, his choice, or rather drink influenced choice, it becomes your priority, your lover, your confidant.
he looked awful, his body shut down, looked like he had been kicked all around town, the brusies on his skin the tell tale sign his liver had given up. he was yellow and looked 20 years older than he was.
beating alcohol addiction is a tough emotional and physical fight, do not understimate this opponent
