The Good News, I'm As Klutzy Sober As Drunk

Tripped over a computer cord and cracked my head on a piece of furniture. As soon as I discovered I wasn't dead or dying I started laughing what was left of my head off. It was so easy to blame every tumble, stumble and bumble on being drunk, now I can blame it on my own carelessness and mindlessness. Also when I wake in the morning with a knot on my head I'll remember how it got there. So many mornings I awoke bruised and broken with no clue as what happened and I'd have to make up stories about what happened. Now someone asks me how I got dinged I can honestly say I was careless and tripped over a computer cord. I also duct taped the cord down in the hopes it will help in the future. Not having to lie because I had no idea of the truth is something. I'm taking the first step, just need to watch where I step. I've got to admit it was the first laught I had today. Life can be good even when it seems it's bad.

I hope you're OK Fitz. I'm pretty klutzy, too. When I drank I walked very slowly and carefully so I wouldn't trip but now I walk quickly all over the place and walk into walls and furniture.

I think I've walked into, tripped over, and knocked over more things when I've not been drinking than when I have Always have been clumsy I guess.

Wonder how many more of us there are?

I was bringing a new chair into the apartment, tripped and the chair landed on top of me. I think I need to see my DR. and see if I can be prescribed a non-narcotic anti-klutz pill. I'm either more clumsy sober or I remember my clumsiness better, or maybe a combination. Maybe AA should have a step about watching your step, literally?
