Just be glad that you guys are all okay. Just thank God every night!

You best friend made a choice to get in the car with you that day...

It was not your fault. That guy mad ethe decision to speed and he made the decision to put other lives in danger. dont blame yourself. It doesnt matter what you were goin to do. HE did this.

I bet you don't do drugs anymore. (at least I hope not) I don't know how to word this quite right but your friend probably saved your life that day. I mean your friend that passed away. I am sure your priorities in life changed as a result of this horrible trauma. In some ways it probably saved your life.

How awful for you. There are no words to comfort someone who has experienced such a loss. My thoughts are with you.

It's not your fault. You can't control everything. Sometimes things just happen. Remember your friend and live your life for the both of you. He would want you to get everything that he couldn't, wouldn't he? I'm sorry if this sounds condescending. When I was going through it all, it really helped me to hear that it wasn't my fault, and no one was blaming me.

I was also in a car accident two years ago this November. My best friend and I were hit head on by a drunk driver. I constantly go through the "what if" and have guilt for my best friend who will have back problems for the rest of her life. Even though I know that the accident wasn't my fault, it is hard to get over and the tiny bit of guilt will never go away. Just realize that the car accident was not your fault, your desitnation is irrelevant. The fact is the guy who hit you it at fault and that is something you need to come to terms with.

There is no way you can ever prevent someone from rear-ending you. Nothing you could have done could have prevented this from happening. I dont know any details, but here in Ohio, anytime a person rear-ends another vehicle, that person is 99% of the time at fault. That being said, If he was going 70 in a 45, you are in no way at fault... I would hope that that person was taken to jail immediately. Here anything more than 20 MPH over the speed limit is considered reckless operation.

I just hope you can find what you need to help you get through the guilt and realize it was nothing you could prevent. I had to learn that myself. I was the person that took a life during my accident. It was weather related and completely unpreventable. God is pretty much the only way I got through it this much. I still relive it every day. But, it wasn't my fault.

I hope this helps.
