Sorry about your friend. My bestie drank herself to death. I wan't to cry every time I think about her. I miss her so much. I loved her more than I ever thought I did my ex, but in a different way entirely. She was the only person that heard my ex's crap and decided that she was just not possibly right.
My ex pushing me to that edge was a huge factor. I never stood a chance as long as I was with her.
