You want to last the full night! I remember when I was in me twenties... oh well. Perhaps we need a 'sex addiction' thread for this guy!
 
It’s with the heaviest of hearts that I’m posting this , in 2008 I split up with my wife and took a 12 month sabbatical in Long Island NY . I stayed with a mate from back here started work and soon became a regular in the local bar where I was introduced to my mates American friends . I hit it off straight away with Stevie Gunn a real honest and helpful fella more Mancunian than New Yorker . We became the best of mates with plenty of road trips to Gettysburg , Boston and Philadelphia and great times in the city , nothing was ever to much trouble for him . He even became a city fan in return I became a Jets fan , he took me to the games tailgating and I said one day I’ll take you to the Etihad which I did several years ago . He even came to my second wedding in Mexico . Now Steve was a big drinker and have the years have passed I know its got worse, I’ve told him about my brothers problems and he’s promised he’ll seek help . He had a really good job in the city but lost it due to his drinking. We were only talking yesterday and I told him to sort himself out for our road trip to Omaha beach and Normandy . Stevie passed away this morning and to say I’m in pieces is an understatement. I already spoke to my brother and told him I don’t want him to be next , alcoholism is the mother of all addictions. RIP big guy

Such a sad tale. Really sorry for your loss.

I can't really offer that much by way of support or advice apart from keeping the communication going with your brother. Just be there for him, and don't ever let him feel like you are lecturing him. Believe me, he knows already.

Don’t go on Facebook much but opened it up yesterday to find an old RAF colleague had passed away after liver complications due to alcohol, tbh from his posts over the years he seemed fine but apparently had struggled last few years, in his late 40s early 50s, leaves a wife and kid, so sad. I must admit it shocked me, someone my age to die is a bit of a wtf moment.

Sorry to hear that BM , to die in your 50’s is too bloody young..
Also when you have children and grandchildren I think it’s a bit selfish as well... Yes I know it’s an addiction, because of personal experience that’s how I feel ..

It's difficult to apportion blame in this situation; it's what addiction does to people.
