proof you don't have to be wasted to get injured

[lestat]

my sense of humor is indeed warped, but i have to laugh at this one. my
typing is odd but i'll explain it. i was at a labor day party yesterday
and a bunch of us were just fucking around. and yes, i stayed sober if
any of you are wondering. we were trying to toss someone into the
swimming pool and i guess we slipped on the concrete and went down.
everyone else was fine but i ended up in the ER with a broken wrist.
this explains my odd typing since i can only type with my left fingers
now. what are you going to do other than laugh about it?. what's
important to me is the fact that i enjoyed myself without even one
drink. i was even able to leave ER in enough time to rejoin the party
and stay sober and have a great time. i'm not amused with having my arm
in a cast but it was nothing more than an accident. don't know if you
guys will find this amusing but thought i'd try and give you a good
laugh.

Congrats on your successful Sobriety in the face of the infamous
"party' threat ! Just brings to light that there may be addict s and
alcoholics out there that were not so successful over the holiday.
But, as the saying goes, Using is just a sympton of this disease; we
have a malady of the Spirit. A member of my family who is 21 yrs old
had a hissy fit at work and punched a wall=he broke his hand and lost
his job. Although it is not my inventory to diagnose his issues, i can
see that unappropiate anger can also be a stumbeling block in our life.
I am thankful today that the 12 steps gives me not only the courage to
honestly admitt my issues, but a path in which to work on them! Some of
these non-addictive people are not so lucky.

sharing, because i am sure there are folks out there who don't believe it
can be done!

Congrats! Hope you heal fast. A friend of mine broke his writes trying to
teach his five-year old how to roller skate.

My labor day involved nearly electrocuting myself working on a light
fixture while standing on a wet porch! I thought the power was off. I was
trained as an electrician, so I know better. Eighteen years of sobriety
soen't protect me from stupidity.

kind of makes us look more dangerous sober than drunk, eh? i'll be
laughing my ass off for years over this one.

thanks for the compliment. i think 5 years ago i probably wouldn't have
believed it myself. other than typing with one hand it's not a big
deal. one added bonus of being sober at parties is watching people who
are so wasted making total jackasses of themselves.
