I once lost track of an entire day! It is one of the reasons I stay sober.
IT GETS WORSE.
When I came into AA I had no recollection at all of about August '71 to November '75. Slowly most of it came back, however, to this day, over 30 years later, the only things I know of my life from September '72 to October '73 is what friends and family have related to me. I totally FRIED a lot of pathways and memories in my brain.
Blackouts are very hazardous to your health Just. And, by getting a sponsor, and following suggestions and directions this time, you will be able to THANK that fellow for reminding you of why you are there. Also, by following suggestions and directions, even if you are 'kicking and screaming' (I did a lot of that the first 6 to 9 months, lol) you will start to receive some of those promises on Page 84, especially the one:
"we will not forget the past nor wish to shut the door on it."
Your path will become a BIG part of your ES&H as you work with others.
