I just lost one of my closest friends, well it's going on two yrs now, to alcohol. He was only 42 yrs old at the time. First grow experience I ever had was with him , I was 16, he 18, he had a government job spraying and setting bo weavil traps, government truck and all, had access to all the cotton fields which worked out great for guerrilla growing. Used to drink Busch beer all the time then graduated to cheap vodka and when his liver started shutting down i would tell him "you gotta quit you gonna kill yourself"
and he would cry and tell me he just couldn't quit , it got bad , Id have to drive him to the liquor store and on the way back he would take a drink and throw up , and keep doing that til he got better. He had swelled up close to the end , but i always thought he would quit and get better. All he had to do was quit and he could have gotten a transplant. I blame myself a lot, if I only had done more. If you know someone close to you like this dont sleep on it.
