Our Father is proof. Your NEXT drink could kill you or someone you love. If I hadn't inherited my alcoholism my family would have left me nothing. My own struggle for sobriety is reminded to me by my father's death every day. The man I want to be is no longer here.
Death happens to everyone.
But my father was not suppose to die this way. I am reminded of my father's death, a tragic death. This is what my life was about, before my sobriety. I have always been told by my parents that I was alcoholic. I never listened.
