well he drank in college like most do but i would say about 20 years ago in his first marriage he started hitting the stuff hard and his wife left him because of it. most of us, as in all of us really didn’t think he was as bad as she was saying. he clearly hid things well. second wife left him singing the same song as the first wife. we then truly began to take notice. i then found out about a year and a half ago he was drinking as early as 7am, daily.
i confronted him but he said he was in control. clearly not. then he was diagnosed with hepatitis of the liver, he kept drinking. then 3 weeks after that, the day before memorial day he got a DUI at 2pm. he blew 4 times over the legal limit.
he hasn’t drank anything since then. partly because he has to blow to start his truck and blow in a little device at home 4 times a day or risk losing time with his kids. had gallbladder removed 2 weeks ago. doctor told me in waiting room his liver was ba and looked like he had cirrhosis. biopsy came back today confirming he did, stage 4.

working from home the past 2 years did him not favors. dude confided in me how dark it’s been for him. makes a good living over 6 figures, and as long as his “team” was getting it done nothing was ever questioned.
he’s been drinking 20 drinks a day for years, hardly eats.

Man that's sad. My best friend and the best man in my wedding died about 6 years ago at 39. He was well in his way to drinking himself to death. Lost his wife and kids over it. Had a very good job as a chemist in a big company. Should have been set for life. After the divorce started adding pills of some kind to his enormous drinking habit and I guess OD'd one morning. GF found him face down on his floor at 9am. Dead as dillinger.

I've been there. He's miserable. My prayers go out to him and all that love him.

I always drank too much but didn't drink like that until the last 2 years, even then it was a binging style of drinking. It's no way to live when alcohol has that kind of grip on you.

6+ years sober now.
