[QUOTE="Big Bad Kitty, post: 184720, member: 3647"] I got a phone call from a friend of mine last night. She and I used to be regulars at an AA meeting. She moved to Florida a couple years ago, and I have not been to that particular meeting in about a year (just due to the distance from my home). She told me that one of the guys who was a regular at that meeting (who relapsed about a year and a half ago) is no longer with us. He had been in and out of meetings up until the point I stopped going, then none of the guys heard from him again. We watched him on his downward spiral...first he started to frequent bars, but he used the excuse of dancing. Then he got hurt, and was prescribed Vicodin. He started abusing that. Next thing you know, he is drinking again. He did come back to try and get sober, but his addiction had a hold on him by then, and eventually he stopped coming to meetings. He was found dead in March, and we just now heard about it. He OD'd. Very sad. For those of us with addictions, it just takes one... [/QUOTE]
