My last drunk too ended in a car crash - no-one else involved thank goodness. Wrote off car - then went on a two day bender. That finished at 11.00pm Saturday night.
I woke on Sunday morning - and spent the whole day reading this site and others and resolved that that was it. I have tried stopping several times - once managed 6 weeks when on anti-depressants - managed the odd week here and there - the odd day or too but I realise now that this has got to stop. There is no other option.
Its now 8.15pm on Monday evening - after sweats all day Sunday, and trouble sleeping last night I went to work today - a little nausea this morning - a few sweats in the day - some tightness in my legs - no shakes. I have no headache. I managed to negotiate the alcohol section of the supermarket and tomorrow I have a date - fortunately not in a bar.
If I'm right this counts as day two - as by now on a Monday night the wine or cider would be open.
I'm taking lots of vitamins, fruit and taurine - never had any issue getting past day three when I have tried before, so fingers crossed. This really needs to be the 2nd day of the rest of my life.

I was raped after leaving a bar. I was drunk and tried to run away, but I was too drunk to defend myself very well.
After that, I had a lot of drunks where I was so afraid that I barricaded myself in a room. Furniture across the door, bookcases against the windows, etc.

Scariest in terms of dangerous? The time I took half a bottle of Klonopin (on top of a bottle of wine) to try and end things, woke up in the hospital with my parents looking on.
Scariest in terms of actually experiencing fear? My last drunk, without question. I was an odd duck and scheduled my detox/rehab in advance, so the evening of January 12, '08 I knew I was having my last drunk. A light night for me, only 12 or 13 beers, but I was scared sh*tless.
I am so grateful to be sober today.

This is a wild gang of people.
If you've been hearing me drone on and on about my DUI saga; here's a new one.
So I'm sitting at home and see one of the kids from down the street peeking in my window. I go completely ape-poopy and run outside screaming with a butcher knife. Next think I know, I'm beaten "Rodney King style". Arrested, mug, the whole 9. I kinda think my DUI mug is cute (maybe I should change my avatar), that other one was a bad bad night.
That one cost me a ton of cash.

Ending up at home at midnight not knowing where I had come from and finding that I had peed myself, still have no idea how I got home, who I was with, etc.. I live in a small town and was just paranoid to leave the house the next day wondering where I had come from and who saw me on the way home walking down the street half-dressed with urine all over me.

waking up in my car flipped over laying on the ceiling of the car. Blacked out rolled the car at 50mph going around a corner. All the windows had blown out when the car flipped so I crawled out and there is a state trooper with his lights on. Long story short I couldn't believe I walked away, looking at the car that was mangled beyond belief. Wasn't wearing my belt. Needless to say I was charged with dui. no one was hurt.
Sober for 55 days now.

Coming home from the military on leave and attending a huge party my friends were throwing for me. I am a lesbian and was dating a woman at the time. She left the party early, and I continued to drink heavily. I ended up being so intoxicated that I gladly took 1 or 2 ecstasy pills that night. I woke up the next morning in the middle of the hallway, in someone else's boxer shorts, and no recollection of the night before.
Low and behold, three months later I find out I'm pregnant. I had to call every one at that party and make an attempt to find out what guys were there and what might have happened. You'd think that would have been enough to make me stop drinking.

I got pi$$ed-faced drunk and went to my ex-fiances house to try to work things out. Naturally in my state it did not turn out so well. I left his house in a raging drunken fit about 2am in the middle of an ice/snow storm. I was speeding down a highway that was on a decline. I hit the breaks to slow down to exit a ramp and my truck swirved out of control. I did a couple of 360s until I finally stopped. Thank goodness, no one was around to get hit and I didn't hit any guard rails either. I don't remember the rest of the night...I woke up in my own bed - not jail. I thank my lucky stars.
Today is Day 3 for me, BTW. So far, so good. I can do this.

I was in downtown Austin, 6th street. I was drinking to get over my stage fright for a show. I drink 6 or 7 vodka sodas. I get done with my number and my partner goes home without me (not knowing I was drunk, I was VERY GOOD at sneaking drinks).
I leave that bar and go to another bar to sing with my old band. The drunk hits me in between bars. I drink 4 more Vodka Sodas and leave. I trip in front of a bar and fall. I can't find my car adn make a paniced phone call to my partner who at this time realizes how drunk I am and freaks out to me hanging up the phone real quick.
I have a very creepy man 'escort' me to my car and hit on me. I told him I was gay and he still tries to kiss me several times. I hurry and get in my car, and drive home. I'm so drunk I can't figure out what lane I'm in or if the light is green.
I wake up the next day to find I've got cuts and scrapes (so not the first time) all over me and I realized I could have easily been raped and couldn't do anything about it.

My D&D shot is one of the best pictures taken of me! Maybe I should use pepper spray before I leave the house in the morning...

i have far too many of those mug shots....if you count the two booked dwi's and the 2 check ins to jail....and the minor from college ball days that i went to jail for.....from the websites standpoint i look like a career criminal with that many pictures.......which reminds me....
I have to say the scariest drunk I ever had was when I got the minor during my football days. We came down to my old hometown from college and went to this all you can drink mixed drink party for like $7 on the big college campus. I was like hell yes....and me....never knew when to stop. Well next thing I remember it is dark and cool outside and I am talking to these two guys, no recollection of what they look like, only remember feeling and voices. They were telling me to leave, and one thing led to another I tried to punch one of the guys. Instead of kicking my ass, they pushed me down and one dude kneeled on top of me while the other one called the police. This entire time I am like you f*in effers you are so screwed you hosted the party and I am a minor. Well the police show up and the guys talk to the police officer.....at this point my phone is missing....they said they didn't have it. The officer takes me to jail whilst I am getting booked 2 of my high school friends walk by....that was funny. Spend my first night in jail.....booked for the first time....if I only would have learned from that night.
Turns out I was 4-5 blocks away from the party that I thought I never left across a major intersection in town, lost my cell phone, and blew a .23. At 19 yrs old. One of the earliest major blackouts of my entire drinking career. And probably the scariest.

in london, news year's eve 06. Suddenly becoming conscious of where i was but i had no idea how i got there. Checked my cell to see my friend calling saying it was half an hour since i left him at the bus-stop saying i was going to get a soft-drink.
I then stopped a car on the way asking for a ride back home only to have the driver yel l Are you mad ? this is a police car". That was one of the stupidest moments of my life. Im lucky they dint get out of the car and arrest me.

The scariest ever, for me, was 2 days before Thanksgiving 07. I got home from school and did some baking. I was drinking my beer of course. I'd only had five or six and knew I wouldn't be able to sleep. I took one of my husbands Ambiens.
Next thing I know, I'm in my car, in a ditch, in my pjs in the middle of nowhere. It's pitch black and freezing. I didn't have gas to run my car. I called my husband starting at 2 in the morning, finally getting him at 6,
It was starting to get light, I had to walk down this dirt road to find clues of where I was at. Luckily, I told my husband some sign I passed and my SIL knows a guy with a tow truck. In the meantime, one car passed and tried to pull me out but after seeing my "state" he left. Luckily he didn't call the cops. I am so lucky not to have frozen to death. OMG was that a scary night.
By the way, I was 20 miles from home, in the middle of NOWHERE. I thank God, I didn't kill anyone.
I'm not just blaming the Ambien, but 6 beers is a joke for me so I know it played a large part. Please be careful of these meds mixed with alcohol.
