Years ago I was friends with an ex undercover cop who had a terrible drinking problem. He struggled with it for years, he'd stay sober for a few months or even years then something would set him off. He finally drank himself to death. This made me think of him and the demons he lived with.

May they find their peace in the afterlife.
