| Blackouts are extremely scary, not knowing what you did, said, who you did it to, wondering why your best friend won't speak to you . . .
When I was in prison several years ago due to this disease, I had a bunkie who woke up in jail one morning with a horrible hang over. She figured she had got busted for yet another DUI. Her family wouldn't accept her phone calls, she just wanted to find out when she could get bailed out and how much it would cost. Finally, one family member accepted the collect call with,"Pam, you really don't remember anything that happened last night?" and hung up.
Later that day she found out exactly what did happen the night before. She got drunk and caused an accident that took the lives of a family of 5.
There was no bail. Her first chance of release is in 2026. This happened in 1995.
That is an example of the progression of this disease.
Jails, institutions and death.
I hope you'll get help and stick around with us while you are on your Journey to Recovery.
God Bless,
Judy
