SunsetRed Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 My friend died on dec 18 of accidental alcohol poisoning. She wasn't a regular drinker but had suicidal thoughts and basically would drink so that she would pass out, instead of slashing her wrists or tying a noose around her neck. So, a few months ago, she wound up in a hospital with .5 BAC and was told that anyone else would've been dead. She survived this only to die in Dec of alcohol poisoning. I keep analyzing how and why. She really didn't drink that much or that often. I have plenty of other friends who drink until they pass out every night. I have a few friends who are cognitively impaired due to their alcohol use but they've never Od'd and died of alcohol poisoning. So, why did alcohol kill my friend. I wanted her to live to fight her demons and win.
beach Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 I've fought those demons - it's a torturous battle - but being on this side now is amazing. I'm sorry for your loss - some folks can't get past their demons and covering up the pain is easier. I find comfort in knowing that she/he is now free from the demons that haunted them. Life's too short - get busy living. 1
Tayla Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 How sorrowful to have read of this loss, I'm sure its not easy for you. Some questions are really not the REAL questions. Logically I can tell you the chemical reasons this happened....Yet I think you are reaching further in your quest to make sense of this loss. The reality is...its a loss and you are grieving. There is no set answer.... Give yourself time to go thru this....and be gentle with yourself.
