Well here I am 21 day clean which is good. I started a new job on Monday. Lifes been great. Last night I wrecked my dirt bike and broke my kneecap in half and might have torn my mcl. On my way to see orthopedic surgeon now to see if surgery is required. The worst part is on my way home last night my motor seized on my bike. Its like everytime life seems good somethings gotta slap me back down.

Let’s try to flip this into some gratitude. Perspective is everything. First, you own a dirtbike. That’s awesome. I love riding. When I was in active addiction the only thing I owned was the clothes on my back, so in that case your doing alright. Second, you have the ability, and I’m assuming insurance, to go see a doctor. Something that I have learned not to take for granted. Access to healthcare is a truly beautiful thing.
So yeah, definitely not the optimal outcome you are facing. But also, some hidden blessings in there.

Dont Take any narcotic pain killers longer then a week or 2 or your gonna experience withdrawls… Seems like when lifes good always something throws a monkey wrench and nails u in the head. Just come back harder. Work on staying sober saving money and it will happen i promise…make that your goal after u recover…
Tell me that’s not god and you’re a liar.

I actually refused pain pills. With my history of drug use I didnt think pain pills where a good idea.

Sounds like you are being tested.
Be stronger than the evil inclination and you win no matter what the circumstances
