eeerooo

Just of few of many:

1) Passing out while driving....car swerved onto a sidewalk and then in the opposite lane...lucky it was very early and i didn't hurt anyone or get in trouble.

2) After going to a bar alone, I was so drunk, I ended up in a residential area and didn't know my way out. I started screaming at the top of my lungs help me help me. The cops came and took me home. I didn't want my family to find out so I had a turned into a screaming beast and even squeezed my way out of the handcuffs all this while my daughter and other neighbors were watching. I was thrown into a holding cell and I felt like a monkey in a cage when my daughter and her boyfriend picked me up. Went to the hospital for detox.

3) Again, went to a bar alone...I was already drunk and passed out in the bathroom. Apparently two young guys tried to take advantage of me sexually and stole my wallet, car keys and cell phone. Lucky I was able to get the car keys back.

Sad to say, I didn't stop drinking after these incidents.

Happy to say, I am going on day 4 so, wish me luck.

One of my scariest was Christmas eve. Went to my brother's, he's also an alcoholic and was living in a sleazy motel.
We had a case of beer and a litre ot tequila.

Started drinking all that, when it was gone I decided I wanted to go home instead of crashing on the couch in the room.

Came out of the black out in downtown Atlanta with no idea how I got there.
Tried to sit down on a small wall and fell over flat on my face. Tried again, same result. Finaly made it home, and actualy went to work the next day.

Had to explain the cuts on my face and I actualy told the truth.

Scary drunk, I could have been, or done anything. Unfortunately, there are many more stories of the same type.

I woke up in an ambulance back in '06 after stabbing myself in the stomach and trying to hack my arm off with a really big knife.

I think the scariest part was that that experience wasn't enough to keep me sober.

Hi Everyone.....

Because we are on the www...SR is often read by
countless unseen people. We are on search engines.

Therefore...
It's always best to use caution when sharing personal experiences or pictures.

After considering this...please PM me if you would like your post removed.
You may then re post with less specific
information if you choose.

Just something to think about...your choice...
Personally
I never share anything on line that I would
regret seeing in my local newspaper.

Forward we go...side by side

heres another one. Another black out. I woke up in my bed with cuts all over my face, knees, hands and my jeans were torn. As it turns out I had been on the beach with friends and continued to fall down over and over again apparently. Friends thought it was funny. The barnacles had cut me. How ashamed I was.

i drank a six pack (which was not really that much to me at the height of my drinking career), and got in a screaming match with one of my best friends.... she screamed that i needed to go to rehab, that i was an alcoholic, and to get the h*ll out of her house because i wasn't welcome there anymore. i can't even remember what i screamed back, but i'm sure it wasn't nice.... i think it had to do with me threatening suicide, like i did so many times when i was active in my addiction. i ended up sitting on the sidewalk outside, contemplating how i was going to kill myself. as i got up to leave my friend came out and asked me if i was serious, and when i said yes she took me to the ER, despite my begging and bargaining. i sat there for 6 hours in the waiting room thinking about how much of a mess my life had become, how i was going to tell my parents, worrying that they were going to lock me up, thinking that i deserved to be locked up. when i finally got in at 7 in the morning, they tried to send me to the psych ward but i talked my way out of it, saying that i just needed to sleep. the hardest part was talking to my mother, i could hear her crying on the phone and i will never forget the look on her face when she came to pick me up from the ER. i had many more times when i was drunker, blackout, etc, but this was my worst drunk because this was the point where all the sh*t hit the fan. the one that led me to treatment, and by the grace of God, to AA.

I had my share of incidents but really the feeling of isolation was by far the worst. No wife, no children, phone didn't ring and I was afraid to come out of the bedroom.

lunarise

....drove after drinking entirely too much...way too many times...sometimes wouldn't remember driving home the night before.....Its embarrassing and disgusting, for god sake I could have killed someone...or myself....

There were so many, everytime I woke up from a blackout. Wondering what I might have did or said, sometimes even look in the mirror just to make sure I hadn't been beaten. Not wanting to ask anyone the next day what I did, after awhile I just preferred drinking alone to avoid some of those problems.

collinsmi

Hey AKDave, are there still those sleazy bars on 4th ave in Anchorage? I have dim memories of some place called The Montana Club (among others), canned beer, plastic cups and chaos.

CarolD

boozedout....
How did I forgive myself for drinking escapades ?

I did when I worked the AA Steps 4 & 5
have you considered AA?

Good to see a new member...

boozedout

thanks carol, yes i have considered AA. im on my fifth day, i thought my fifth was yesterday, its actually today, i was offered a beer last night after work! it took everything i had to say no, but thank god i did, and my friends are the type to keep nagging you," have a beer", "come on". "blah blah blah", cause they have no idea! but im confident i can quit on my own, but i really would like to go through the steps at AA

Im with this one. That horrible lost, alone, nobody would understand, - everyboby is sick of me- feeling. Afraid to answer the door, afraid of the unknown, cowaring in the bathroom, afraid of my own reflection, the feeling of the toilet bowl cold against my face as I try to get sick and the sickness coming from fear. not being able to hold anything down. A constant knot in my stomach. Thank God for A.A and my soberity. I am just back from a 12th step call, so its all fresh in my mind again and I am very grateful.

The scariest for me is not even remembering what probably should be scary, embarrassing, etc. The blackouts are the most freightening thing ever.

My scaries drunk was my last one. Woke up in ER with daughter & ex by my side and find out I had overdosed on pills and alcohol. Don't remember anything. I don't pick up One day at a time, because I know that my next one will be even scarier!!

flavinho

It was when I discussed with police officers, I was very arrogant that day due to alcohol abuse, I yelled, being ironic, was a complete A-S-S. Later that day I was instructed to do a blood test because I refused the breath machine. I almost lost my driver's id. I had to pay alot to a lawyer in order to keep it. It was one of my worst days EVER, I was so idiot. But it could be alot worser. You can't argue with brazilian police officers and just run away, they uses to be very "unpolite".

My last drunk was the scariest too.

Went out the night before came
in at 2am had a horrible arguement
threatened to end my life. Then on
a dare i took a hand full of Nuprin
along with other pain pills downed
with wine and off to bed i went.

I didnt think of the consequences
that followed the next day.

Family intervened having the
authorities come pick me up and
off to the rehab i went for 28
days.

I scared my entire family with that
escapade and shamed myself.
Filled with anger at my family for
doing for me what i couldnt do
for myself.

For that and them im truely
grateful.

18 yrs of one days at a time
collected together to get me
where i am today.

HAPPY JOYOUS AND FREE.

Fighting my roomates in college, getting escorted from the dorms into isolated living above the Housing Director.

Fighting a family member, throwing fists on Christmas eve, family still kind of gives me room and lack of respect to have done this in their home many years ago.

Taking money from my friends to buy booze with and then sleeping with my old friends girlfriend, lying about it and then becoming irate over him asking me this.

Yelling at people for no reason, driving drunk and laughing over not getting caught (many times when my uncle died because of this being hit by a drunk driver).

Saying I was sober when I was drunk.

Too many past stories of idiotic behaviors.

I'm sorry. I know I shouldn't but...
