Simon Says: Hi, it's been a bumpy ride for me lately. I relapsed again and just got out of the hospital again. They scared me a little, said I was going to die. Too much alcohol and too little oxygen in my blood. I had to lay in a hospital bed for three days wearing an oxygen mask thinking my life was over. Turned out in the end that I had chronic bronchitis and they were able to clear it up with antibiotics. I had an IV pop in both arms, huge ones. They were like big brass plumbing fittings and I ain't sure what they were pumping into me. All is well except my arms are a little sore. I actually look better right now than I have in a long time, must be the antibiotics. Actually I'm on two different kinds. I didn't eat anything while in the hospital and must've lost several lbs.
I decided to go back to AA and I just got home from from a meeting. All was going well until I witnessed a fist fight out in the street between two unknown black dudes. One guy got beat up so bad I thought I was witnessing a murder. This guy got knocked out and several people were trying to drag him off the street so he didn't get run over by a car. Not sure what his fate is, looked like he was barely alive. I had to catch a bus so I have know idea how bad off he was. Weird thing is that there were a bunch of young people around and they were all laughing, I couldn't see anything funny about any of it. In fact I found it quite disturbing. Sorry I haven't posted in awhile but I've been in a fairly deep depression for the last month or so. I still am but I figured I should try to keep this blog going. Hang in there, I'll be back, this story never ends.
