Setback
Still sober, just a setback in the progress i was making with my job changing. Had an accident Sunday and lost my big toe, a bit of the top of my foot and slit my second toe pretty bad. Little upset about it but I look at it like it could of been way worse. No need to drink when I get out the hospital and no reason to stay mad at something I cant change.

Couple weeks. Had 1 of 3 surgeries so far. May take a month to get back use to walking normal. Just lucky I made it to the hospital I'm in now. The first one didn't do anything but clean my wound but sent me home with a torn vessel and artery and open bone all bleeding out. About 50 hours of zigzagging pain prior to getting real help. I mad at first but I'm better now

Geez, glad you did not get an infection going with that.
Congrats on staying sober through all of this.

TNT - how terrible for you. I hope it heals quickly & isn't too painful. I admire your determination to not fall back on alcohol. It never helps us cope, just makes everything more miserable.
Wow -- I'm so sorry to hear about that. I hope your recovery goes well and that you're not dealing with a lot of pain anymore.
I'd also like to thank you, TNT.
Many times, life can deal unfair hands. Things that are painful, unkind, frustrating and even life-changing. Drinking does nothing to make them better or make them go away. Your post has shown us that we can maintain sobriety even when we have to deal with seriously unpleasant stuff. I think that's a real service to our community.
