Sorry about your dad. That's rough, dying from just beer and a couple percocets. Had something similar happen to a buddy years ago, he was on a common antidepressant and they didn't know at the time that it was potentially fatal when combined with even small amounts of other substances.

The one before her, Pengy being the second woman I've known to drink herself to death, was definitely intentional, a Leaving Las Vegas style suicide. That girl was really calm about dying and it happened fast. Pengy, if she meant to wreck her liver, was super unhappy about dying. It was slow, and painful and she was terrified.

But she didn't stop drinking either as far as I knew. Even with stage 4 liver disease she was drinking wine. It's hard to quit addictions, sobriety is so boring.

It’s so sad to just watch someone resign to that, I know it’s like, that’s what they think they deserve, but goddamn.

My dad was the type to get drunk as fuck and leave the party without telling anyone so it was so on brand for him. And yeah sobriety is boring, but...fucking, I don’t care. Just sit down and eat the shit sandwich with the rest of us! All this talk of dead addicts reminds me of TSR by Against Me!

An ex went via combination, not intentional.

Addictions can also be boring. Balance, meaning, purpose, fulfillment, and well-being can all be so perilously fleeting.
