It is hard when you see it happen to someone in your family and end up making the same mistake. My father also was a big drinker my whole life. Infact he never even worked. Then one day (my brothers 28 birthday) he went into heart failure and kidney failure. My father had drank since he was 10 and dropped it in one day. He told me the doctors told him what to do if he wanted to live (quit drinking) and he wanted to live.

It changed my opinion of my father in one day. He was now a hero to me and someone I could look up to.

I am glad to have connected with you. I hope you are in good health. Thanks for the commenr. Journey on my friend.
