Add booze and anything is possible.
I'm writing to two that are in prison.
These two were sober at one time.
Went back out and the yets caught up with them.

wow. I thought my blackouts were bad. This is horrible, beyond horrible.
I actually had a friend msg me yesterday, a girl I met in detox in May. She keeps relapsing, I don't think she's gone longer than 2 or 3 days sober since we met. Anyways, she said she has found herself in some trouble. I guess she blacked out last week and actually started strangling her girlfriend. The GF has a child. The neighbours heard (although this was the first PHYSICAL altercation, it wasn't the first of screaming fights)...Child services is now involved. She doesn't recall what happened.
Scary.

Words cannot describe. Afterwards, the police told me he was a father of 2, husband, son. There was a recurring figure in my dream every night for years after that - and periodically until this day. I was told that our souls are forever connected. I believe it.

My god. I'm sure I'm not on my own in being glad you're still here.

I had several scary black-outs during my drinking days. I actually remember them happening slightly but it was like I had no control over my thoughts and actions. I would get in fights with strangers, fights with friends, and even my own brother. I don't why, but the black-outs always seem to manifest as blinding rage. I was never an angry or aggressive person sober.
I am lucky I never seriously hurt someone nor get hurt myself. It took me a while to catch on what I am capable of doing during a black-out. I have woken up in jail at least 5 times wondering how I got there. My family tells me I am like Dr Jekyl one moment, calm and seemingly enjoying myself, then something may set me off a second later and I am Mr Hyde looking to destroy the world.

Update: not guilty on the attempted murder (no intent) but guilty of wanton endangerment. 3 yrs in prison. He is pretty too so he will make a nice GF for someone in jail. Yikes!!! So happy I will NEVER again blackout!!! Let this be a reminder to me of what alcohol can do to some of us.

Great reminder thread about how dangerous a black out can be. I became a complete raging lunatic as I always stuffed my anger down rather than showing it; I guess alcohol and being in the black out make the anger come out. So dangerous. Lucky I didn't kill myself or others.

Bit sick when it comes from someone who works in the courts. That's what all that talk of crime and punishment does to you I suppose and being spoken down to by men in wigs and gowns. Dirty so and sos.
Try saying that about a woman who's just been sentenced to three years...'ooh she'll make a nice playmate for the screws. Yikes!!'
Just saying

I agree, AncientMariner. I have a huge problem with "prison justice" and how it's accepted and even considered a good thing that people in prison for committing horrible crimes should be allowed to dispense their own form of justice.

I said yikes. I don't think it is a good thing, but it is reality and it's sad for this man who did something horrible during a blackout. Consequences are just terrible all around. Some judges are women, you know, it isn't all old men... Interesting how some people project their views and opinions to my words... And that exact same thing happens to women in jails all over the world also...
