       | As someone who lost two parents by 60, to alcohol, I hope John's
       | passing can serve as a reminder to those struggling that today is
       | a great day to get sober. There is no shame in the fact that
       | you're an alcoholic or any other dependency you're facing. What
       | you're feeling is real, difficult to overcome, but not
       | insurmountable.

       | There's an AA meeting near you that's probably happening in a few
       | hours. And, if AA isn't your thing, there are other alternatives
       | as well. I hope you can find a way to make it there, and begin
       | the journey you deserve to live a long, healthy, fulfilling life.
