Unexplained bruises, cuts and black eyes. Lost one shoe or both.
Yup this is typical for people with a booze problem!
Everytime I am walking the street and I see one shoe on the ground, I think to myself, there goes a drunkard. Or I see a person with a black eye, or 2 black eyes. Typical for us drunkards!

Yeah it is scary and it's a horrible situation to be in but also so avoidable.
I slipped up on the last day of November (have been clean since) and I spent 3 days with zero sleep, heart racing, mind racing, shaking like a shitting dog, just waiting for a seizure to hit.
It's a bit different for me because i've had the seizures before so i'm now more susceptible to them than most, but it's so frustrating when you put yourself in that position knowing full well what the consequences might be.
