Manon,That sounds scary,I have passed out at wheel of car,luckly the truck driver I was going to bounce offf of started honking his horn.I am glad I didn't hit anyone or kill someone.Take care we need you around here.
When I got clean (Fall 1984) there were no online recovery meetings. Heck, people barely had personal computers and the internet was only a dream. I went to NA meetings. Yes, it was scary, but I knew I needed to make a change in my life, and I was willing to do what needed to be done. After a while, I started to get much more comfortable in meetings. Though I am glad that there is NA available on the internet now, I don't think I could have gotten clean just by typing stuff into a computer. I needed, and still need- to be with real, live people who can help me out. I hope you give real meetings a chance. There's no good excuse not to go.
I too have passed out behind the wheel--on a highway during the morning rush hour. Miracles surrounded all....I hit no one else as I spun around across all the lanes, rail to rail, and no one plowed into me after the car came to a crushing stop. All I had was a broken hip, three broken ribs and a broken orbitol bone. I am so grateful that I can go to live meetings.
Fear will hold you hostage until you release it. There are a 1000 ways to leave your lover, as the song goes. Unless, of course, it is somehow more satisfying to stay tethered.
