A close friend of mine committed suicide on Sun., and I found out yesterday. I'm stunned and incredibly saddened.

We had a lot in common. We were both alcoholics who really struggled with sobriety on top of having mental health issues.

I knew she'd been struggling due to a recent relapse with alcohol, but she'd managed to get 18 days sober again and was pretty upbeat the last time I heard from her.

Then boom, this.

I just wished she'd confided in me, how badly she was really feeling.
