RIP Friend
 

I was at a meeting thursday and I found out this guy I sort of knew (he'd been around for a loooooong time and I knew his brother in a professional way) died of pancreatic cancer after nearly 20 years of sobriety.

I hadn't even known he was sick. I only saw him now and then and enough to say 'hi, buddy, how ya doing?" He was a sad soul who fought depression with everything he had and was sober when he died.

He was a strange guy in many ways, I don't know exactly what went on with him mentally, but he was the definition of a sweet person. Never wished a mean thought on anybody.

I'm so sad. I didn't even KNOW him for chrissakes, and I feel very, very sad. sometimes I hate going to that club and seeing obits or memory cards tacked up on that bulletin board. After nearly 20 years you get pancreatic cancer????

and another guy I know has it, too. I haven't seen him around but my pals have and they say he looks bad. Ugh. I feel rotten.

Wait till you get old and they start dropping like flies, that gets real depressing.
Alcohol is evil. All the fun stuff is, except pot.

fucking fuck cancer

My buddy goes under the knife this week.

Sorry, Bri. Thinking of you.

Fuck Cancer

Sorry babe.

Love to you and a thought for a man who fought against bad odds.
Bet he had no regrets though.

My condolences Brianna. For an alki to die sober of any cause, one of the things we are aiming for I think.

sorry Bri. You never know when cancer might just be around the corner. sad

:cry:

*HUGS*

My thoughts to you and his family and friends.
