My husband is just very concerned. I agree that I'd truly struggle without my car/license. I think he said that more as a shocking way of getting me to be far far more careful. Truth is, I must try to be extremely mindful about my driving (and other things) in the future. It's not easy, though. It's sort of like telling a person to stop touching their face, when it's been a real habit for a long time.

I won't be driving very much anymore, and not far. I've had to abandon things (i.e. a volunteer job I started at NAMI a long while back) because of the driving. There are strategies I can take to make things safer, like choosing different routes or times I go out.

When I was much younger, I used to love to ride my bicycle. That eventually stopped. I started finding myself in ditches on occasion, and just got too scared to be on small roads with traffic.
