my truck got hit by a drunk driver today. It was very weird to be the victim. I didn't know how to feel. It was partly relief, I was on the other side, it was partly just sadness at the insanity of it all. It was partly guilt because at a time it could have been me. It got me thinking about amends and forgiveness and responsibilty. I just wanted everything to be ok but it wasn't. I highly reccomend a Toyota Tacoma in a crash and being sober in the process.

Oh the funny thing, the trooper asked if I'd been drinking. I said no sir, I'm an alcoholic.

Fitz...I'm grateful you're okay!




Best Wishes To You!

I am so happy you are okay! What a scare. A SOBERING reminder, is it not?

So the cops came by this evening for a statement and stuff, I quess the guy had priors. I didn't know what to say or how to respond. He can't be on the streets but there is still a deep sadness in me. And an anger, not so much at him as the damage drink does. I braced up my bumper so it wasn't rubbing the front tire but how do I brace up myself. I had a DUI, should have had many. Who could I have harmed? I'm doing amends but how do I do it for myself? The days i'd wake in a panic to see if my car was like parked and had I done something to someone or something? It seems stupid but the guilt and shame is just there. Sorry.

That's so funny. "No officer because I'm an alcoholic."
Glad your ok. Never had a DUI but I've def driven home after drinking too much.
Thanks for sharing.

So, what was the trooper's response to that?
