Lost a brother today

Mustang · 10-09-2007, 10:59 PM

Found out earlier tonight that my oldest brother passed away today. I'd love to say that this was a surprise but, unfortunately he has been battling alcoholism for a number of years along with a heart condition so it was just a matter of time. The family tried to help him out but, in the end, just no helping someone that doesn't want to be helped. Cost him his money, family and in the end his life.

Anyone out there battling your own demons, get the help you need. It doesn't end well.

Lathum · 10-09-2007, 11:01 PM

Sorry to hear that.

Greyroofoo · 10-09-2007, 11:02 PM

As someone battling his own young alcoholic demons this will give me second thought.

Kodos · 10-09-2007, 11:02 PM

Sorry. Tough to take, even if it wasn't a surprise.

Neon_Chaos · 10-09-2007, 11:02 PM

Damn. Condolences, Mustang.

Sorry to hear about your brother.

Mustang · 10-10-2007, 01:07 PM

Thanks all.

With everything that he did/went through, seems like I lost a brother some time ago but, the physical part was yesterday. Sucks all the way around.

Funny thing is the one I feel the worst for is my daughter, being only 6 weeks old, never will get a chance to meet him.

digamma · 10-10-2007, 01:49 PM

I'm really sorry to hear that.

Sadly, I have thought that many times about one of my brothers, also. Same situation, alcoholism.
