Just lost another friend to alcoholism

[FollowTheSun]

As I'm pretty sure you know, I am one of the lucky ones (and I try to be conscious of this every day). I was able to get clean and sober a little more than 6 1/2 years ago. I have not a single doubt in my mind I wouldn't have lasted this long if I didn't get help.

Thank you once again for sharing your story and offering help. It takes courage to share it and to get people talking about it but it's very much needed in our culture for us to do that.
