Alcohol and it's consequences: Learning to live again.

zmar80 started this conversation

I am a fulltime student that was in a serious car accident involving drinking and driving. I went through the windshield of my car and was hospitalized for days. Though, I do not remember the accident I know that I hit a parked pick up truck that nobody was in. Thank God. While in the hospital I incurred a $25,000 medical bill. Ultimately I lost my job. The medical bill has now been paid off which is a huge relief. However, I am struggling right now with paying my utilities and property taxes for my home. Since my accident I have underwent intensive alcohol treatment. I went to completed a counseling program, alcohol monitoring bracelet for 11 months and attend 2 to five AA meetings weekly. It's been a long and rough road but feel like I have finally began to live again. I have a sobriety date of April 6 2010. My accident was a spiritual reawakening, my calling that enough is enough. I write most of my school essays and speeches about alcoholism, drinking and driving and the effects and consequences of drinking and driving. I know that my audiences have learned much about the effects of alcohol and pay full attention when I speak of it. It seems that my essays and speeches bring a letter grade A and standing ovations. for the past year I have devoted my time outside of class to learning to live without alcohol and to help anybody along my way. I do intend on applying for a student job at the university in after April 6 once I achieve my 1 year sobriety anniversary. I am struggling though and know that it will take me time to catch up. My main concern is my gas, water and property tax bill which are all over due. They total $1,780. I have never asked for help and always helped others in every way that I could. If you could help me even a little I would so greatly appreciate it. Even if it's only a dollar. Thank you in advance for any help. Sincerely Zmar80.
