🧑‍🤝‍🧑 / 🏡 Knocking on heavens door

[RollllTide!]

I don't know how to say this in a nice way. We lost our son to alcohol abuse. It is heart wrenching to live through this but if it helps someone to intervene with a love one it will help me.

Our son was a straight a student, had a great career, loved life, and loved family. He was a pilot, scuba instructor, a merchant Marine.

We intervened multiple times and tried to help him but the alcohol monkey had him. I know many families live with this disease but don't quit trying.

I don't need pity but prayers are welcome.and if you need support please don't quit or give up on hope.

No alcoholic will live very long and we knew that it would kill him. We just didn't know when

My sincere prayer for you and your family. I hate to read this sad news. May God wrap His arms around you and your family and hold y’all close.

I grew up with an alcoholic dad. He cleaned up in 1971 and stayed good until the summer of 90. He lost his job due to layoffs after almost 30 years, his mother was diagnosed with oral cancer and myself, my wife and two boys moved to Ohio. This started a downward spiral that lasted through the death of my brother in 96 and some serious health issues with me. He got off the alcohol again in spring of 98 and has been sober since. Extremely hard to get off alcohol and stay off. I made the decision not to drink because of what my dad went through. Growing up, I did not know of anyone who drank responsibly, they all got wasted.

Thank all of you for prayers. It's just a challenging time right now. He and I watched every BAMA game during football season by syncing our TVs and cell phones on speaker. He was in Hawaii.
