Alcohol

It lost him his job.
It dried up his savings.
It stole his desire to keep living.

It deprived him of an education.

It split up his marriage.
It dominated his daughter’s childhood.
It demolished the family he’d tried to create.

It required years of rehab for him to stop.

It took just one woman.
It needed just one wedding.
It was just that one person who encouraged him to start again.

It took his life.
