Second Chance


            Looking up at the ceiling and the big white lights I somehow knew that I wasn't hurting myself any more but hurting people that cared for me so much. Laying in room 321 the room was drenched in the smell of my vomit and an aroma of tequila. Before I passed out, I had remember the hallway rolling passed me like a roller-coaster ride and the voice of a late-night nurse saying," we have a serious alcohol poisoning call Dr. Burk- .
             After hearing the nurse my sight began to blur, then I remember shaking violently; passed out my life was now in the hands of a few late night nurses and doctors that would work to save my life. Something needed to change. I no longer felt invincible, but forced to simply choose life or death. .
             You never think anything bad can happen to you. Teenagers are notorious for experimentation. It usually falls in the categories of sex, drugs, or alcohol. My area of expertise was hard liquor and beer. My one purpose at that time was to get drunk and act like an idiot around fellow peers. Most of my peers new what their limits were, and then knew to stop. But a professional like me, we need to raise the bar. That's the rush of being an athletic drinker. Besides a real man doesn't have limits, that's for girls. Only if I knew that in fact it took a real man to step up and say no I've had enough . Everyone that I tell this story to I just say, " You consume the alcohol, don't let the alcohol consume you." .
             I remember waking up and feeling extremely hot. I had forgotten where I was; even that I was in the hospital. I couldn't get up, so I lifted my head up to see what was going on and I saw what looked like a million tubes in throughout my body. Then I finally realized and came to my senses what happen. Then a nurse came in to see how I was doing, I told her that I have been better. But, when I told her I was really ashamed of myself for just being there. That's where my life changed forever.
