One year off the sauce today

I’ve got a lifelong friend who is now living with his niece and husband because they had room for him and could take care of him while he dies.

They have hospice coming by 4 times a day. He spent his life drinking and doing dope. He quit six years ago when he watched his brother die a wretched, miserable, painful death but it was too little too late.

Of course no one can go see him because the ‘rona but I talked to him Monday and he’s made peace with his death.


Freaking sad. He turned 56 a few months back.
I am in a similar situation, my friend is a few years younger than yours. He had quit everything but smoking and now has lung issies,the last thing to quit is cigareetes but I also fear its a bit too late. iused to tell him "you should quit" he'd say "gotta die from something" of course now its a different tune...
