What personal qualities have helped you carry on and move in a positive direction?
I would have to say my self-determination.
Upon awakening from my coma (after my accident) and realizing everything that had been taken away from me because of a drunk driver, all I could think about was how great my life had previously been and how sad it was that my life would never be the same again. I was living with horrendous pain, my memory and cognitive abilities were significantly compromised and it was unknown if I would ever walk again. During those times I reflected on my past.
I decided to treat my physical and cognitive therapy sessions like football practice. Many of my therapists shared with me that they had never seen a patient more determined to improve than me. It was that determination that drove me to my full recovery.
We should don't drink and drive. Beside that , we will never know what will happen the next second.
I suggest that should arrange alternate transportation like sit friend 's car or take teksi back home is better choice after drink.
Drive after drink will cause :
- Driving on the wrong side of the road
- Responding slowly to traffic signals
- Almost striking an object or vehicle
- Making wide turns
- Promise me, Be careful Be Home -
