Survivorship bias. ;)

  Sure if it only happened to me once, but it's happened to me plenty of times.

    Just like the alcoholic smoker who lives to be 100+, consider yourself incredibly lucky

    This is the definition of the survivorship bias. You lived through your multiple times. Those who didn't - can't tell their story, because... they are dead.

      The more times I experience it and fail to die the less bias there is in the results from survivorship bias.
