He's in the ICU. His liver is failing. He texted me just last night and I was going to visit him in the hospital today, but he must have crashed today or last night. I wasn't allowed in to see him. I can't get more information because I don't have his family's contact info. He doesn't have a great relationship with them and we have never met.

He's 28.

I never told him how worried I was about his drinking. I only danced around the issue and talked about cutting back or that he should see a doctor. He has no support system to help him try to get better, and I contributed to that.

I'm so sorry.

Please be kind to yourself. Playing the coulda, woulda, shoulda game doesn't help your friend or you at this point.

I hope you're able to get in touch with his support system. Maybe you could leave your name and number at the nurses' desk, then the family can contact you if they are willing/able.

I am sorry, I lost my cousin two years ago the same way. We were the same age. He had all the support in the world and resorces to get into recovery but he never did. The reality is there is very little you could have done.
