I'll make a long story short. I had 3 weeks of no drinking. Decided I could have a few. Fought with my husband at the club, he left me there. I blacked out and walked 5 miles home. I have hardly a memory of walking the streets at like midnight
somehow, I'm alive. This feels terrible

One thing to do, get back on the wagon, we all slip, we just get back up, no point in beating yourself up over it.

That sounds dangerous and I'm sure it scared you. I hope you're ready to try again.

You can do this and you can learn from the experience.

Stay out of clubs.

I am glad you made it home safe and you are back on SR.

I'm glad you are safe. Your story brought back too many similar memories for me. Rather than put myself in dangerous situations I started to drink at home instead-at least I knew I was safe. Fast forward several years and I realized that wasn't normal behaviour. Where I drank was not the problem-it was the drinking that was the problem. I hope you can use what happened to you in order to go forward and stop drinking. (Aside I would be pretty pissed off at your OH for leaving you knowing what state you were in)

Wow I am so glad you made it home OK.

On a slightly absurd bright side, you got your workout in for today. And I agree with the others who have said: just pick yourself up, dust yourself off, put some band-aids on those foot blisters and start fresh. Lesson learned about whatever let this happen. Avoid!

Best wishes to you in your new start.

He left you there?

Three weeks of not drinking. One night of drinking a few.

Something was working for you. You need more of whatever that was you had going on. I hated my black outs. You never know, eh?

Hope you're getting it going again with quitting drinking.

Songtx - Well now you know there can't be 'a few'. It's become too dangerous. That was the point I had reached when I finally gave up trying to be a social drinker. I went kicking & screaming out of my drinking life - but I wanted to continue with my real life, the one not lived in a fog. You can do this, Song - we are listening & want to help.

Songtx

Thanks all. Yes, getting back to quitting now. I do think it was the club that made me think it was ok. Staying out of them for a while is the right idea. I realize how lucky I am that I got home safe!

So glad you are safe! Drinking isn't worth the drama. I know in the last week my relationships have been so much stronger. Get back on the sober train! We can do this! Just take it as a learning experience. We are here for you.

Good for you in making it home in a blackout without mishap. When we decide to have a few anything becomes possible, and this adventure fortunately wasn't too rough on you.

Obviously having a few could have turned out far less pleasant for you, as the unpleasant possibilities when we have a few are limitless, since having a few doesn't really mean we have a few.

Welcome back!!! Its amazing how much God watches over Alcoholics and Addicts. I look back and think ive should of been hurt or dead many times. But here i still am! I think its a good idea if you avoid places that serve alcohol for awhile. Im sure the temptation was very strong. Im really glad your okay and that you came back.

I have friends in Austin now for the SXSW, so I know it's CRAZY out there right now.. But early in sobriety, it's best to stay out of that scene.. I'd recommend not even considering going to a club for atleast a year..

I still haven't went and I'm 14 months in...
