Update on my friend who was hit by a drunk driver

So, about a month ago my friend was in a car accident. He was hit by a drunk driver. The last time I brought this up was the night he was hit. Well, he passed away last night due to complications caused by the crash. This is just another reminder to please not drive drunk. I know it may seem like the "right thing" at the time but it's not. I now have lost a best friend who I have had since I was 10 years old because of the fucker who thought it was a good idea to drive drunk.... please, don't drive drunk...

Edit: I hope this sends a message to everyone. I know it's a known rule to not drive drunk but I also know that some of you do. Again, just don't. There are much better options

Cause it doesn't have anything to do with fake ids

Actually it does. As many irresponsible members in this sub get too fucked up thanks to these IDS and then go and drive after drinking. This person just lost a friend, how about people grow a pair and show some condolences and realize just for a second that it indeed has a correlation to fake IDs. People need to be responsible after using them and not drive drunk

Damn man, that's tough. Can't imagine what that's feel like but thanks for sharing and hope your message saves someone else's life.

I still don't really know how to handle this. He was like a brother to me.... Someone recommended a youtube video which actually helped a little and this was it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wU0PYcCsL6o

I suggest everyone watches it

I lost a best friend who I've also known over a decade. Nothing really helps at first, nothing at all, sorry I'm being honest here. I was with him on the night of his death. So I also blamed myself for not being with him which also added to my pain. I tried everything, drowning it out partying, sex, alcohol, drugs, you name it. The night we buried him I went out got fucked up, went back to his grave site then back to his moms house and cried on the couch. Time has helped but there are still days when I'm driving around by myself or in a position where a memory arises or I think of how I could be doing something with him. I'm going to tell you something no one told me so you'll be prepared. The worst part is not reminiscing the memories you've had with your friend. It's thinking about the things you've never done with them and planned on doing. Whenever you're feeling lost, call them. Leave a voicemail, send a text to their number. All these little things helped me big time. I almost lost it in the beginning. I was mad at the world. Don't let anyone tell you what you're doing to mourn is wrong. Everyone is different. I don't regret anything I've done because at the time it put my mind at ease and that's all you can ask for at the time.

I am so sorry for your loss... I will take everything you say into consideration. Its just hard, ya know? You never know what you have until it is gone

Yes I know, I just want you to know and be prepared that it will get harder. I never had anyone tell me that. They just said time will heal. They never mentioned what to do in the meantime. There will be days where you can't sleep, eat, think or crack a smile. Just know that's it's ok. Surround yourself with mutual friends of your lost one and enjoy each other's company. No one knows what you're going through better than the people that are going through the same situation with you. Send me PM if you want to talk about it at all or need any suggestions on what can be done to pass time. Again sorry for your loss and don't let it get the best of you.

Damn. Sorry for your loss, brother. Rest In Peace. Don't get why people drive drunk, I couldn't live with myself if I know it was completely my fault that someone passed away...

I understand how people could be tempted, I am just happy so many of my friends would do ANYTHING to keep me from having to drive drunk.

I lost an ex gf to a car crash where a drunk driver just t bones her and ran her into a pole. It hurts man and I'm not going to lie it is going to take a long time to get over. I struggled with depression and still whenever drunk driving is mentioned I choke up and tear up. It's so hard and I am so sorry for your loss man. Please let me know if you ever need someone or want to talk.

Sorry for your loss man. I was hit by a drunk driver a few years ago and it was truly a scary experience. I've also lost a friend to reckless driving. It's easy to think of driving as some simple task that we don't have to be to careful with but once we get careless we lose site of those dangers.

Let us know if you need anything at all!
