True danger of drinking

I use to think that drinking wasn't a big deal
It was just a pass time or a way to have some fun at a party
But i was wrong i never realized the danger of achol
Until one day i got a phone call from my family telling me that my aunt was in the hospital in a coma
Her liver went bad cause she use to be a acholic
She had stopped drinking for two years
But it was too late cause the achol had won
I set there and had to watch my aunt die slowly
I was talking to her begging her to wake up not knowing if she could hear me or not
Than i felt her grab my hand i was so sure she was going to wake up i was so excited i ran to tell my family that she moved
I had to lay down and take a nap cause i was so happy and i was so sure she was going to wake up
But i was wrong when i woke up my family had told me she passed away while i was sleeping that was the worst news of my life i didn't know what to do my heart was hurting so much i went back to her room i sat there crying over her asking god why.Four months passed and i was ok still hurting but ok and still i though drinking wasn't bad only if you drank everyday until one mourning i got a phone call from my aunt and she asked me what i was doing and i knew something was wrong cause of the sound of her voice.So i asked her with fear in my voice what was wrong and that's when she told me Matthew had passed away.I couldn't believe it my cousin/bestfrined was gone.He died cause he got into a car and was drinking and the driver was also drinking.I dropped the phone and yelled out to my mom and she picked the phone up and my aunt told her.I didn't cry at first cause i was so shocked i didn't want to believe that he was gone.It took me to the next day to realize exactly what had happened i cried myself to sleep every night.That day just kept replying in my head.I kept hearing my aunt's voice in my head telling me those painful words it wasn't until he came into my dream and told me he was ok and that he was in heaven.And my aunt also came into my dream to tell me that she was ok too.Than i realized that they were happy and that they were in no more pain.But till this day i still cry and it still hurts not having them here with me.And it took this to happen for me to truly realize what are the real dangers of achol really are.It doesn't matter if its a couple of beers or just a sip it could take away your life or someones else.
