oversloth

Very true. I just don't believe a person exists that "cannot give up pork" though. Everybody can. Some people just don't want to. Pretty much everyone who sais "I could never go vegan!" just aren't willing to, and take their supposed inability to do so as an excuse. Past me included. :|

I really wondered there for a moment, how wake induced lucid dreaming (commonly referred to as WILD) could be performed on stage, until I realized you simply meant the word wild. :|

I find it really fascinating that in your situation you're feeling empathy for the driver of the car. I mean, it's perfectly reasonable as you said the crash was probably caused by the alcohol and hence not the driver's fault, but still.. I don't know. You're in hospital, hoping whoever hit you is fine. That's unusual but cool.

While /u/Volundarkvioa's response certainly contains almost everything you need to know, make sure to not feel overwhelmed. When I went vegan I took about half a year for the process, replacing individual products one by one with plant based ones. So there was no big change, just minor ones every now and then which made it all very easy and natural. Every once in a while I would look for one or two new recipes - mostly easy, cheap yet healthy ones - to add to my list. And that's about the only downside, to effectively live vegan you often need to prepare your own meals. While there's a lot of progress in restaurants and stores or even when ordering pizza, it's difficult to get by without cooking yourself a few times a week.

So whatever you do, feel free to take your time. If things don't work out immediately don't despair. If there are things you love to eat that require animal products simply search for "<meal name> vegan" in the search engine of your choice and you'll find dozens of different recipes that you can try. If you're doing it right you're not going to miss anything in the long run. :)

Well as I said, perfectly reasonable. Yet, I believe that in the situation, some people would still consider the driver to sort of be "the enemy" to some extend, even when aware that (s)he didn't do anything wrong - (s)he's still the one who'se car almost killed you. But then again, I might be wrong, really hard to tell from my outside perspective.
