How to handle recovery after almost dying

The amount of tears I’ve cried are insane. I flipped 4 times totalling out my car 2 weeks ago. I wasn’t exactly high as I woke up late for work and hadn’t used since the morning prior. Within 30 minutes of opening my eyes,I was being life flighted from the scene. The legalities are not attributing to this odd sadness/excited about life phases I’m hitting. How does one deal? Mind you I’m car less, and recovering from arm surgery and 5 broken ribs,collapsed lung. Any help would very appreciated

That sounds very scary indeed. I am glad you survived. Having not had that experience I am not sure I can help. It being a turning point where you reflect on your life sounds very natural. So want do you want now you have a second chance? I guess answering that question would be a good place to start.

Hi there! I hope you are recovering smoothly and I can’t imagine how scary that would be. Sobriety is a great choice to make for yourself. We are here to support each other.

For me, I realized I would not live forever. Change (no drink) seemed like the only easy way left, and life has definitely changed.

Welcome. Take it slow, life has a ladder up if you find the higher power to help lift.

Welcome Megan.
Glad you survived ! Take care !
