Скачать или смотреть I'm 79… And Alcohol Destroyed Everything I Loved

I'm 79 years old. And for the first time in my life, I'm telling the whole truth.
I had a wife named Carolyn. Two sons. A house with a yard. Saturday mornings where the whole family was in the kitchen at the same time. I had all of it.
And I drank until it was gone.
Not all at once. That's what nobody tells you. It wasn't one night or one catastrophic moment. It was a thousand small choices. A Tuesday when I stopped at the bar instead of going home. A Sunday morning when I was too foggy to really be there. Every promise I made and didn't keep. Every time my sons learned not to expect me.
I told myself I was functional. I told myself I could stop whenever I wanted. I told myself there would be more time.
I was wrong about all of it.
This is not a recovery story. This is not a warning. This is just one old man, at the end of his life, finally saying what happened. Because the truth is the only thing I have left to give.
If any part of this sounds familiar — not for you, maybe for someone you love — just sit with it. That's all.
