I apologize for this sudden report. Zepa has passed away unexpectedly.

On behalf of the deceased, I deeply apologize for the abrupt news of their passing. The funeral was held privately with only family members in attendance. We sincerely thank you for the kindness and support extended to the deceased during their lifetime.
It seems that the average lifespan for alcohol dependency is around 50 years old... Have I already passed the halfway mark...?
Where are my strengths, anyway... My cheerful side? Nah, I get alcohol depression sometimes too, though, lol.
I'm worried about myself.
I don't have alcohol-free days.
