I'm finally back in my own space. The drive was great. It only took 6 hours and 20 minutes. Yes, I was speeding. I spent most of the drive talking to one of my best girlfriends. She pretty much hates the Internet and has never read my blog so I had to catch her up.
I feel so much better now that the drive is behind me. I decided to stick it out. I've known him my whole life and that's a long time to know someone and love them. I kept thinking about what it must be like to be him. I can imagine, but I'll never know what it's like to feel like I just have to keep drinking. I'll never know what it's like to not be able to put a drink down and just live. I know that there are many rough days ahead. Truthfully, most of them are already behind me. I've experienced so many things with him through the years. If I had to make a list, the bad things (all a result of drinking) outweighed the good a long time ago. I keep hanging in because I believe that everyone can turn it around. It may take him longer than I'd like, but I'll still be there at the end.

I'm glad you decided to be there. Your friend is going to need those he loves when he hits rock bottom. Alcoholism is a terrible, nasty disease.
