I quit drinking (again) two weeks ago. I was black out and I broke my ankle. I’ve never broken a bone before. I am now non weight bearing for 10 more weeks. I’ve been told this is a serious injury that will affect me for my entire life. I am out of work for 3 months. I can’t go back home to my own apartment because it is up three flights of stairs. I cannot drive. I am dealing with a lot of pain.. I’m not trying to whine. My point is that this time the consequence of my alcohol abuse is so permanent this time. It’s an eye-opener.
