I had an accident on a horse, she threw me at 30 mph,and as I flew through the air for those 2 seconds or so, my whole life passed in my minds eye. It seemed like everything and it was amazing. Not my life but the feeling, there's so much our brains don't do.

A few years ago I was on my death bed, or very close.
so strange, scenes of elementary school, and riddles. We had a teacher than had corny riddles every day and they kept coming to mind and my brain was trying to recall the answers.
My sister came into the room, crying, thinking it was the end, she says I kept asking her stupid riddles.
brain is a funny thing

I hope, if I die in an accident where I'm able to know right before what is happening, that this happens to me.

I had major existential angst as a youngster and actually am just coming to terms now at 37, sober. I wonder how much of my drinking was fueled by my desire to avoid the idea of finality. Sent from my iPhone using SoberRecovery

For me Jennie it was about remaining asleep. Addiction has forced me to wake up. Its much more convenient to remain asleep but then you can't really live life because you are only sleepwalking. Many, actually most do this. No matter the method or even if you quit drinking altogether, the process of becoming awakened is perhaps the grandest of all life's achievements for me.
I agree with you that avoidance was a big part of my issue. At least until I could not avoid the inevitable anymore.
