Down That Road Again

He's drinking himself into oblivion
another friend travelling that road again
only this time I find it hard to see why
when this one has all he needs
a lovely wife, a lovely kid, house and job
what more does this guy find,
in all those bottles he empties?
destroying those hearts around him
losing all the respect he had,
I hear his wife is ready to leave him
cant understand there's no reason why
does he do this shit
is it her? she wonders to herself
as she cries herself to sleep at night.
So a couple of years ago we had to bury one of my best friends I grew up with, at the grand old age of 29(I was 27 at the time), he destroyed himself with cheap alcohol.
It was a shame, he'd always had a tough life and as me and my friends grew in our lives he kept finding groups of younger friends to drink with every night, he destroyed his liver and killed himself through this alcohol habit.
So a friend the same age as me anothe lad I grew up with James has it all, a good job working in his dads building company which he would eventually take over and loves, A beautiful wife who he has been with for about 8 years, a 2 and a half yr old son, Liam and a fantastic house they have bought together.
Whats the fucking idiot doing? drinking every night, some times whole bottles of vodka in one night as well as cider and whatever other alcohol he gets.:(
It's my friend Mathews stag night tonight, James cant come he spent 5 hours in A&E the other week as he is shitting blood and black stuff, he is now waiting on test results on his liver, his answer to why he has been hitting the drink so hard? he does'nt know why.:(
WTF?!?!
Two years ago we bury one of our best friends through the same stupidity and here he is doing the same and he does not know why.:(
I'm feeling really pissed of right now.:(

alcoholism is such a soul destroying disease. for those that are afflicted and for all those who love them.
I wish I could tell you that I have answers or that there are things you can do, but that's the bitch of alcoholism, there's nothing anyone can do except the person themself and even then........
anyway, I'm just really sorry this is happening to you.

Hold on to the thread
The currents will shift
It's horrible, you know with Rob doing it I could see the problems he had shifting from one home to another, never holding down a job, failed relationship, problems with his parents, a daughter who he got to spend nowhere near the amount of time he would have liked to, the list of problems he had was endless.
With James there is literally nothing or so it would seem on the surface, if there is something then he is keeping schtum about it.
Well it's possible that whatever got him started with it has now been surpassed by his addiction. He may not even know why himself anymore.
I think some people are more susceptible than others. Trouble is reefer I don't know that there's anything you can do love. If it's gonna change, James is the one that has to do it. Awful for his family and for you watching from the sidelines but pretty much the way it is. I mean do you think an intervention would help? Like from all of you? United?
**sigh** oh I don't envy you this situation at all. It sucks!! I wish I could tell you something good and helpful. I'm really sorry reefer, it's such an awful, shitty situation to be a part of.

Apparently, him and his wife went through quite a rough patch, did not feel the love anymore, he was sick of the relationship and they were about to break up.
At least I have a reason now.:rolleyes:
We had a chat on the phone, they are apparently happy again, he still has not got the results for his liver(though the doctors are optimistic and dont think it will be serious) though and now they are thinking of trying for a second child, which to me sounds like a stupid idea all things considered(give the storm time to settle properly).
I think the next chance I'll get to see him in the flesh will be at my friend's wedding on the 4th of August, we shall be having serius disscusions then.;)
