Just wanted to put this out there a friend of mine who I tried countless times to join healthunlocked passed away on Thursday.... He begged and pleaded for help numerous times over the last six months and I even had him stay at mine for a week and he didn't drink but as soon as he was home he was back on it I am truly heartbroken for his loss and I hope he is at peace now... But 36 is no age 😭

Please if you're drinking try your hardest you will never understand the pain you cause to the ones you have left behind

Richard I will miss you more than you will ever know thank you for being my friend πŸ’œ

So sorry to hear that jojo. 36 is no age to die and it's heart breaking when it was so avoidable. You tried your best for him but in the end the decision to give up drinking rested with him. Big hug for you jojo xx

Sorry for the loss of your dear friend. It is such a shame, try not to be too hard on yourself, you are not to blame.

Addiction is not always something one can try harder at, sometimes nothing anyone does can save them.

I'm really so sorry for your sad loss of your friend Richard plus 36 is definately such a young age!

My heart goes out to you , your hubby and his family and friends.

Take care both

Jo,

A dreadful thing to happen and a reminder for many of us how it could have turned out.

Be content that you did your best for your friend.
