The first of the week I was informed that one of our radio personalities had passed away. Now I hadn’t seen him in a very long time so I wasn’t even aware that he was sick. But I was told that he had lost a tremendous amount of weight so I just assumed that he passed away from cancer. Well last night I found out differently. He actually died of liver failure and it could have been prevented.

In January his doctor told him that if he didn’t cut back on his drinking he would be dead within six months. Well he didn’t quit drinking or even slow down and seven months later he died. This has got me doing some serious thinking. Why in the world would a man of only 53 choose drinking over life?? If he had of stopped, he wouldn’t have been in perfect shape, but he would probably still be alive.

I realize that alcoholism is a terrible disease, but it just sickens me to think that he chose the alcohol over life.
