In a hospital. Didn't break any laws. Suicide watch. Husband not allowed to get me. He can visit. I didn't break any laws and I can't leave. Boozer here hitting new lows again.

The body is amazing at the tolerance level it can reach when drinking over a long period of time....

I wish you well on your sober journey!

Is say a combination of luck and extreme tolerance by your body. It can end today if you want it to...use this time to safely detox and make a plan for when you get out. We only get so many chances.

Being forced to detox. Cops won't let me go. I liked my tea plan better. Guess it will take amazing another four hours to sober up. Wow. Even if I bought a cab ride I can't go. Yikes. Told them they wasting needed bed space. Four hours. Then I can go. What a mess.

Torn - do you have a plan for when you leave the hospital? This is scary stuff. Sending lots of support and concern your way.

Hi torn. I'm so sorry you're going through this, but it can be the beginning of a new life for you. Time to get free.

Torn, you are one of those people who needs a bed. Look at this as an opportunity to change your life for the better. What is the plan once you are discharged?

My plan is to get home. Then yes day one again. Frustrated they won't let me home. Husband gets it finally. This is no longer childs games. I feel raw. At least they let me have phone. They took my pants. I don't remember calling 911. How sad. I guess I need a counselor. They said I'm a risk and even at midnight they may not let me home. Such a sad wing. And I'm a part of it. I can't even lie. I have cuts now. Never ever did I think I was capable of that. I can't even hide now. sobering Jan. So nice. Three more hours.

I'm sorry you're going through this. Detoxing is hell. Just try to remember how bad it feels the next time you want to drink. Trust me, it stays on my mind. Hang in there.

It's because we all started at day 1 just like you. And we know how much better sobriety really is. The hard part is that only you can decide if you want it and only you can take the steps to get it. I sincerely hope you can get sober tonight and make this a new start.

I've been sober various times. I know it's better. Always with end date. That's what is hard. No more end dates. Need to stay sober. Forever seems like a long time but I almost lost today. Sobriety looking nicer than this. Thanks guys. I still have hope.

Torn, I am so glad you reached out to us. You never have to feel this way again. You can change it all around.

If you don't do it for yourself... at least do it for the others that are impacted by your drinking. Alcohol harms everyone that gets in its way.

And a 0.37% BAC is extremely high... you are very lucky to have survived that. Some people don't :|

I'm genuinely startled at how lucid you are with a BAC of 0.37. Can't help but wonder whether or not the reading was false.
