Thinking it over a little bit, I think that roller coasters would be a high stress thing for me and might well bring on a heart attack or stroke. I'll opt for a Keatsian exit if possible ("cease upon the midnight with no pain"). Struggling to get sober for so long was stressful enough, a roller coaster of a far different sort. I'm lucky to be alive and I owe that to my doctors and the Almighty. Having gone through all that, and at times feeling that I was only an hour or so away from death, has made me reluctant to incur further risk for the purpose of entertainment. I feel the same way about a family member who persists in off trail snowboarding, particularly dangerous in a state where marijuana is lawful.
