Worst blackout of my life

Just awoken from the worst blackout of my life

The last thing I remember was doing some cocaine (which I would never do / ever buy if I was sober)

I'm informed someone I know saw me doing it. I hope they don't tell anyone I love.

The worry of thinking did I say this / do that is absolutely killing me inside.

The regret of possibly saying awful things to people makes me feel so awful.

I daren't ever show my face again.

One positive is its confirmed my worst fears that I do have a problem. I've browsed this forum for nearly a year and have always told myself that it wasn't a problem and I'm just young.

At only 20 years old I feel disgusted in myself.

This might be one very long hangover

Welcome to SR, OnlyGetBetter.

The good news is that you never have to feel this way again.

There is a better way to live your life - and a brighter future on the horizon.

That means you have a couple days to formulate a sobriety plan before you forget how you feel and start convincing yourself that you don't have a problem, that all you have to do is control your drinking.

I was younger than you when I drank myself into alcohol poisoning, vomited in my sleep and my roommate had to save me from choking, then awakening to the worst hangover in my life.

Any sensible person would have never drank again.

Being alcoholic, I drank 35 more years.

Blackouts are the absolute scariest thing. I had several of those in my last drinking days and I've never forgotten. It's awful that a part of your life is an unknown to you.

I'm glad you posted and that you are ready to change your life.

Welcome to the family. If you never drink again, you'll never black out again and do things you regret.

Heya!

I've had some atrocious blackouts in my time...as well as hellish hangovers.

It all sucks.

they are horrible experiences, really hellish. I feel for you. I wish you well in your journey and your choices. You have A LOT of life ahead and seem to have realised some important things about yourself at a young age. You have quite an opportunity. Very best wishes,

Man, I sure wish I'd gotten sober at 20. I had blackouts like that back then too.

Took me another 20 years....
