Sadly, not even a near-death experience is enough to get some people to stop.

I had more than one relative who could only be stopped by death. Grandmother, Uncle, cousins...

A grandfather to lung cancer before I was even born. I'm told he still kept smoking.
Grandma didn't stop until some point when grandpa (her 2nd husband) started courting her nearly a decade later.
Penquin47:
My mom's a doctor. She has a lot of elderly patients. Some of whom have the oxygen tank under one hand and the cigarette in the other.
Is it cold in here?:
Dora tried sitting next to Faye once and shaming her by taking one Dora-drink for every Faye-drink. It was a mistake.
Tova:
Gout didn't stop my uncle. It put him on a disability pension, and given the choice between losing the pension and losing the drink, he happily stuck with the drink. He would even boast openly about it.
The stroke did more or less stop him, but the damage was well and truly done by then, and he lasted only a few years longer.
I can't even think about it without feeling a mixture of anger, disgust, and shame. :x
OttawaJohn:
I have no problem with the relapse, it's sadly 100% accurate. My concern is the cause. I really hope it's due to the changes at the shop and realizing how dark her life was, and not just 'cause Dora mentioned booze. It's not possible that in a month she's not been tempted. Hell, I can't watch three YouTube videos in a row without seeing an ad for alcohol. You go to any restaurant, they hand you a drinks menu before you get a food one often.
As someone a bit sensitive to alcohol in my life, I notice it a lot.
Just worried it'll be 'Dora said booze now I want it' as a cheap drama to make Dora feel guilty and shift the blame. Hope not, and like to think no, but that's my concern about the storyline and has been since the final panel a week ago where Faye said she wanted a drink.
