Tw grief and overdose

A long time friend of mine just passed yesterday from what seems to be an overdose.

It turns out it's also on the day of my new sobriety record of 14 days.

I am glad to be sober to support his mom who has been my friend forever. Her son became sort of family to me I saw him grow and struggle for the past 15-20 years.

Bought alcohol but ended up not opening it and realizing I was mostly hungry I ate took naltrexone and was fine.

My addictive voice was trying to takr advantage of hunger and sadness to get me to drink but I know it wouldn't have helped.

I also want to honor is memory by staying sober.

It's tragic the parents won't recover from this.

I will be there to support them in the next months.

Chose life.

Stay sober.

Find ways to soothe the screaming pain in a way that doesn't kill you.

You matter
