Need advice!!!

Hi Everyone,

I need some advice cause I dont know where else to ask this. I have been with my bf for 2 years. He use to be a hard time drinker before we met (im not) but cut way back in the time I have known him. Recently we went to a house party. He is fine on beer but for some reason not on hard alcohol. He had a bottle of rum along with other drinks/shots handed his way. He went crazy. I wish i knew how to describe it all without being judged. It was like he was possessed. His eyes were black. He was not there. He was saying scary, creepy stuff and drawing one particular symbol all over the walls with his finger. I was sooooo scared. He passed out for a few hours and woke up back to normal, no memories of this.

Has this ever happened to anyone else???

Thanks

Blackouts are common amongst alcoholics and your BF sure sounds like one. You should probably try the friends and family of alcoholics forum since you are not the alcoholic yourself.

Also just curious what symbol was he drawing?

Hi Jenny - it certainly sounds scary, whatever the cause.
Have you talked to him about it?

The reason I asked about the symbol is I have heard of this before. It was a dual-diagnosis situation (alcohol and bipolar). Get him to stop drinking completely if you can.

Hi,

Please feel free to continue to post in the Newcomers forum, if you like.

I am so sorry you had to experience this. Blackouts are horribly scary.

You might want to find some support for yourself, here and/or at AlAnon.
