We all have a lot of if onlys. If only I had worn my seat belt when I was 21. If only I hadn't played hockey I would not have been hit in the head, I could say something like that for all of my head bangs. I think we all go through a faze of having a few drinks - I probably did the most when I was in my 20s and 30s. Since the head injury that has caused the most symptons and grief I hardly drink at all - instead headache. Red wine is the worst. Be kind to yourself, don't waste your energy on if only.

I believe I am a nicer person post injury than prior- not that it makes life easier though! LOL
