december 17th 1999. i drove home drunk from a party. i knew i shouldn't but i had gotten into an arguement with my girlfriend. a buddy of mine threw me his keys so i could go home.
middle of winter and i lost control going around a corner, i was going too fast and the ass end kicked out. when the tires caught traction it shot me into a large tree. i hit about a foot in on the front left side and it flipped the truck up and landed on it's top, spinning and rolling twice ending up upside down. a few more inches towards the center of the truck i would have stuck in the tree and it would have killed me.
being drunk i escaped with minor cuts and bruises. lucky considering i wasn't wearing a seatbelt.
messed up the next five years of my life with court costs, loss of license and insurance.
as much as i would take that night back i wouldn't. only months later when my life was over as i knew it did i look in the mirror and decide to make a change. that change has helped me make a complete 180 in my life.
i sometimes wonder what would have happened if i had just slept it off in the truck without driving home. would i be better off today or not?!? i don't know.
