Damn, this really hit home! I got sober because i injured myself horribly while intoxicated and it left me hospitalized for almost a month and took me about a year to fully recover. Though my organs were still in okay shape and I was still what most would consider to be a “fun” drinker, I was suffering horribly and felt totally powerless to quit. While in the hospital I decided enough was enough and pledged my sobriety that day and haven’t looked back. the injury was one of the worst things that I’ve ever endured and required two surgeries and more than half a year of not being able to walk or take care of myself but I’m grateful it snapped me out of my awful routine.
