Well, lets see.....nearly all of my "near death" experiences have been because of my own stupidity, and are nearly all alcohol-related. I've had severe alcohol poisoning on at least one occasion, and have passed out at the wheel twice. Drinking and driving is among the stupidest things a person can do, but I made a habit of it for many years of my life. I never have had a serious accident wghile drunk, but easily could have had MANY. Lets just say there are PLENTY of reasons why I don't drink anymore, these only being a small fraction of why alcohol has no place in my life anymore. I'm an alcoholic, and theres little doubt left in me that eventually my drinking would have killed me or, even worse in my opinion, someone else. If someone else died beccause of my carelessness, I don't think I could live with myself.

When I was being born I got rapped in the imbilical cord and almost strangled to death.

Then like 2 weeks later I got sick and nearly died.

I'm pretty lucky I made it past a month old.

I'd just gone down to Video Ezy to get some movies, and the new release section was right near to window. I made my way to that, then remembered that there wasnt anything I wanted so I went a little further away from the window. Then I hear this heaps loud noise and I turned around and there was all these softdinks flying at me, so hoppity skipped backwards. A dude had crashed his car through the window and if I'd been standing 5 metres closer at the new release section, I would have been flattened by a coke machine.

Cocaine and meth binges. The really fucked up thing about it is, I'd always be geekin or tweekin so hard I wouldn't realize that driving 120 miles an hour down a 40 mph zone at 3 in the morning with sun glasses on was anything out of the normal? That was pretty close, but I didn't wreck or anything but had I bad things probably would have happened.

I had smoked about 5 bowls of some dank and 3 of them had about a 4th of a g of some blow on it, bought about 15 green colonzapams and snorted about 4-5 of them. Had about half a bottle of yager with some red bull and decided it would be ok for me to head home. I'm heading home at about 8 o clock and its raining and I'm driving my 2001 toyota celica and just before the twisties the cop passed me and "clocked" me doing well over a 100 supposedly. Well I panicked and went fast through the twisties up until the last one where I flipped and destroyed my vehicle. Ya got a ticket for driving to fast for the permitted road conditions because the cop felt bad for me (instead of giving me a reckless driving ticket). Had I not been wearing my seat belt I probably would have been severely injured or died. (I don't know how I remembered to wear my seat belt of all things?)


Kids don't get fucked up and drive, yes it fun, and yes you'll most likely get away with it......... For now....

I think I can say more than I did in post #12...

One time I was pretty close to a shooting but I don't think my life was in clear danger. Every shot I heard that night, sad to say, was not a "wasted shot" .

One time my van span out when I hit an exit too fast. We were so close to rolling over. The right side of my van is still really fucked up because it hit the ground. I had a seat belt on and I don't think it would have killed it. Even my passengers without seatbelts would probably escape with their life in that....it would have been a real simple, half-roll onto the roof, and the Dodge Caravan is great with things like that....

uh...there are so many times I've stood over a huge drop and I'll always get really surreal and be like "I am only 2 inches from death" and really try to get to the bottom of what prevents me from dying....

Really the closest I came to death was in an auto accident about ten years ago.

I was on my way to work one drizzly Ohio morning. My left wheels went off the asphalt . No biggie. I attempted to pull my car back onto the freeway. I've been in this situation before and know what to do.
Well, this morning, it went all wrong. I started sliding, corrected, and went into a spin on the wet road.

I only stopped when I took the end of a guardrail in the passenger-side door. I estimate that I was going about 50mph or so at the time of impact. The door was caved in about a foot and a half or so.
The car (a late 80s Honda CRX) was totalled.

I was, remarkably, uninjured. I credit this to the fact that I was wearing my seatbelt. If I hadn't had mine on, I'd surely have bounced around the cabin like a ping pong ball.

I don't remember anything after the car started to spin until the car was coming to a stop. I was in the median on the side for traffic going the other way, faxing the guardrail. I realized that I needed to stop and told myself to depress the clutch.
I stopped the car and got out, certain that I'd hit another car, probably more than one. People were running toward me and I was asking who I hit. It took about three different people to reassure me that I didn't hit anyone else.
Once I was convinced I was the only one involved, I went back to my destroyed car, got my travel cup filled with coffee, dusted off some glass bits and waited for the police to show up.


[EDIT]
For Buzzby's benefit... It was on I-76 around Norton heading into Akron.

As a sophomore in High School I was at band camp and for 3 days I had a really bad cramp on my side. The day I left for the hospital I ate some food and then immediately threw it up, and when we were marching I couldn't even hold my bass drum. The drum instructor was also an EMT and so he did a quick check and deduced it could very possibly be appendicitis, and called my parents to take me home and told me to go to the doctors tommorrow. We got home, mom asked me if I wanted to go to the hospital, I said tommorrow. I tried to lay down couldn't, started feeling really queasy and weak and said we gotta go. Turns out my appendix had already ruptured a little and it was releasing all kinds of nasty shit into my organs, I was in the hospital for a week and couldn't even walk for 3 days. Doctor said if I would have waited a day or two I could of been very dead.
