Doing some real reflecting over the last few weeks about how bad it really got during my drinking days and how the fact that I am even still in this world is quite amazing. I seriously shouldn't be here. I passed out once and nearly froze to death in my car with a BAC of 4.8 (luckily they tracked me down with my phone), I passed out driving on the highway (hit a guard rail and didn't even wake up until the cops showed up), mixed pills and alcohol and nearly slipped into a river in the middle of the night completely wasted and suicidal. There were many more times and I don't know how I got so lucky. I have a wonderful family who didn't give up on me. I didn't feel worthy of their love and now almost 2 sober years later I can't imagine ever letting them down again and I know I wouldn't survive it.

Life is a gift to cherish

I guess it always was

Life never felt like a gift when I was drinking, it felt like a burden

I'm sure you mean .48.... a BAC of 4.8 would mean you were dead and your blood replaced with alcohol by a ratio of almost 5:1.



That said... holy crap!! a .48 would kill many people....

Isn't it amazing that we lived through the crap that we did?

Congratulations and thanks for sharing.

Charliee, I'm glad you have such positive perspective after two years of recovery.

Good for you!
