As I say all the following, I cant imagine going through this with 5 different people in the past 50 days. You have remarkable resources.I am worried about someone who has done increasingly destructive things over the past two years and is now drinking daily to incoherence. Woke up this morning to 3 missed calls in the overnight and texted back to no answer. Anxious feeling hoping he is ok. Apparently all his 12-step options are zoom based and he has run out of 2 rehabs in the past 6 months. I've been running out of things to say to help him through. Everything feels tired and exhausted... I also see this person in my life and am alternatively humbled and scared. He is smarter (PhD Physics) and better than I am on many fronts. Whatever accidents that have led him to this place are just that - accidents. Could just as easily be me or anyone else. In some moments feels like not if but when. "Keep breathing" is excellent advice, though. Stay well!

Loved it. And it was actually helpful for me at the moment.
