Me too! It got to the stage where id say 5/7 nights a week I wouldnt remember coming home, often id wake with bruises and wonder where I got them - if I had been in a fight or merely fallen over.

One time I woke up with a hospital wristband on and had no idea how id gotten there....I still dont know the full story, but id been knocked out/passed out outside my house and some good samaritan called the paramedics. I "came to" and I was already home with this hospital wristband around my wrist! I could barely recall being at the hospital, but they must have been so full that they had to let me out early.

Its amazing the things you can do while blacked out and seriously not remember! The anxiety from that drove my sobriety in the end.
