Addiction & Recovery

It was from a slip and fall on an icy sidewalk, but I was drunk. I landed on a metal stake sticking out of the ground, and I don't know how the outcome wasn't way worse. I'll wear this scar to the grave, aware of what might have been. If it had been just a little deeper, or an inch to one side or the other, I probably wouldn't be typing this now, I'd be pushing up daisies. I finally checked myself into rehab not long after.

Best of luck with your recovery. The first step is acknowledging that you have a problem, and when you find yourself physically injuring yourself then it's a pretty big clue that you just might have a problem.
