What's the worst that can happen?

Was just thinking of all the stupid things I've done while out of my head on booze , for me I went out partying with my husband and friends, of course I could never get enough, making my way out the back door to the garage for another tin of cider I had out there, I tripped on the step fractured my arm in two places, didnt know that at the time as I was so drunk I went to bed only to be woke with the worst pain ever. Arm cast for 14 weeks, followed by two operations, but did that stop me,,no. I carried on because, booze wouldn't catch me. Well the joke was on me, I'm now back on day five, and I'm still counting the hours xx

Great job on five days- keep going!

For me, the worst that could happen was death. I finally chose to live, with all its uncertainty in the future. Best decision ever.

And I don't have breaks, bruises, sickness, any of the torment and pain I "happened into" when drinking!

Keep going.

Once I fell down a flight of stairs while drunk. Badly bruised but nothing broken. My spouse was away. I could have died!
How stupid are we?
Congrats on 5 days. Keep going.

High five, girl! You're doing great - day 5! I'm on day 6 myself. It's not an easy road, but it is possible. I still have a gnarly bruise on my left knee that I "think" happened when I tripped last week and fell while stumbling around my house drunk. Unbelievable! Hang in there!!!

Congrats on day 5. I had a friend break his shoulder, fall in the river face down, end up in multiple comas. That didn't stop him. He finally did go to rehab but sadly died just a couple years later from all of the abuse he put his body through. It's been two weeks and I still can't believe he's gone.

Great job on reaching 5 days, Lastchance. Your life will be so much better.
Sometimes I reflect on all the reckless things I did, especially towards the end of my drinking career. It's chilling - I'm lucky to still be here. Never again.

Congrats on day 5. Fell flat on my face once. Pretty sure I broke my nose as I had two black eyes the next day. The worse part was lying to my then 7 year old son telling him the blood was koolaid. Insanity!

Never broke anything but I have a nice scar right across my nose to remind me of what drinking really bought me.

Congrats on day5/6 lastchance

What's the worst that can happen?

I think we can all imagine worse outcomes. I hope this can be the catalyst to become sober for good!
