I can relate. Years ago, I had a stressful job (not in the legal field) where, many nights, I would tell myself, as I walked to my car after work, "At least you're not blind. At least you're not blind. Things could be worse--you could be blind." Around that same time in my life, I remember seeing stories on the news of addicted celebrities having to go to detox centers for 2-3 months and actually envying them because they would have an excuse not to work for a few months. I was just going to type, "Can you imagine?" but I know you can.
