I'm not judging. I'd have done the same in his shoes.
Not what I'm saying. Partying suggests something very different to what he experienced. He's also been sober for a long time. A relapse is possible but so are a hundred other reasons. Suggesting it was his own fault is quite grim.
It's not grim at all.
It's likely, given his history. At the same time, this is a silly argument. Even if he were still alive he wouldn't care what either of us thinks, so let's not waste any more of our breath on this.
Jesus christ. Just because someone has a history of addiction does not mean they're destined to die. That's an awful thing to say.
Thank you for your opinion. I appreciate it.
You can't say something horrifically offensive then pretend it's OK. Disgusting.
No of course not. But the chance is a lot more likely.
We're all destined to die
