If living and driving near Langham Creek HS and
HWY 6 was scarry enough while sober, I can only
imagine it if i was still drinking.
I got sober here in Baton Rouge before my little
family transfered to TX and vividly remember how
i used to drive under the enfluence of alcohol and
am very grateful I didnt kill anyone.
I would drive up the ramp to the interstate going
the wrong way. Driving against the oncoming traffic.
Then race the car next to me after the red light. YIKES..!
Then hit a concrete culvert sitting on top the ground
sending me to the hospital so they could remove
my punctured spleen so I wouldnt bleed to death.
Of course that was 21 yrs ago when family stepped
in with an intervention to save my life.
Anyway, I do recall how crazy it was for me to
drive to a noon meeting in all the lunch traffic in
Houston and how my anxiety was sky high by
the time I reached it. I soon made a dicision
that that particular meeting wasnt worth it to
my own health and peace of mind.
Traffic here in BR is also crazy these days and
to be impaired by drugs or alcohol would surely
put me in my grave fast if not someone else.
I think i'll stick to staying sober today.
