February 1990 upon my return from
a club drunk resulted in a car accident
at 2am hitting a concrete culvert sit-
ting on top the ground.
I ended up in the hospital for 10 days
with them removing a punctured spleen
along with countless broken ribs, contusions.
I recovered in a few months very well
to only pick up a drink in Aug 1990 to
indicate how rapid the progression of my
disease was. At that time i tried to end
my life with/out sucess Thank God.
Family stepped in with an intervention
where i spend 28 days in rehab recieve-
ing the tools and knowledge of my disease
of alcoholism.
18 yrs of growing and changing in recovery,
blessed with good health overall. Last week
i under went a total leg hip replacement.
Due to the trauma my body went thru
from the accident especially my left leg,
orthristist set in over the yrs eventually
causing pain in my walk.
The surgery was sucessful as im under
recovery for the next 6 weeks.
I did put my health, family and life in jeopardy
each time i drank.
Today I dont have to live like that any longer
because the price is to costly.
