Wow, I'm so glad I finally got around to reading this thread. I didn't realize how much anxiety I still have about blackouts. In my first 2 mos. or so of being sober, I would wake up and shoot straight up out of bed.."WHAT DID I DO!?!" "WHAT HAPPENED!?!" Gut-wrenching, heart-wrenching..terror.

I don't still wake up this way, but reading over the excerpts and reading all of your experiences (so similar to my own)..I feel the anxiety. I'm actually glad the fear is still in me. It's hard to face, but in a way..it kinda' helps.

Thanks GreenTea! I think I'll head out to get this book today!
