Vona71

Drank heavily last night. Probably two bottles of wine and whatever else. Don't remember. My cell was dead. My husband was out searching for me all night.

I woke up very cold and disoriented. I soon realized where I was, but didn't now how I got there. I walked to the hotel nearby but it was closed up so I flagged a guy down and asked him to call 911. I I was scared crapless. Lying with my legs on the road and my torso in the snow bank. Halfway across town where I was. My gawd.

Ambulance arrived and told me my pants were undone and my shirt was askew. Well, I freaked of course. What have I done.

At the hospital they took my blood to check if I was drugged and swabbed. I'm at home now. As I'm sure you can appreciate, this is pretty much as low as it can go for me, short of having froze to death.

I am entering a treatment centre this Monday. Two weeks to start. May be longer.

I need to fix this now!

I'm glad you're alive Vona, and hope this is the start of a permanent recovery.

I am so sorry for that frightening experience, Vona.

I am glad that you are basically okay.

It's good that you are ready to take strong action to fight alcoholism. There is an exponentially better way to live; give treatment all you have and then some so you can find that better way.

Rooting for you, Vona.

That must be such a scary experience... I am really glad to hear you are okay and safe now, plus you are going to treatment which couldnt be better news.

Towards the end of my drinking, I was in a blackout every single time I drank and anything and everything could have happened to me. But in the middle of my addiction likely possibilities of terrible things happened didnt even cross my mind.

I hope that this is a wake up call for you and for all of us sober alcoholics here to see what could happen to us - endless possiblities - if we go back to drinking again.

Glad you did not injure yourself or anyone else.

That is very scary, I am glad you are going into a treatment center.

It is a great decision to get professional help. Sounds like it was a very frightening experience. I'm glad you are safe at home now.

Carlotta

I am glad that you did not hurt anyone and did not freeze to death. Please make sure you go to treatment on Monday.

I'm a big fan of treatment having just gotten a little myself. Glad you're going this route. Is this your first time?

Jsbodhi

Please get help.
I'm also in the Canadian west.
My friend froze to death at 21 after she passed out drunk outside.
My uncle also froze to death after passing out drunk in his early 40's

I was in a blackout every time I drank as well, I'm glad I'm alive and that you're ok too

Thanks for coming here and posting.

I hope the treatment center is a good experience for you. So, so, so very glad you are still alive! I live in the high mountains and too many don't make it in that experience. You must have one hell of a guardian angel!!

Hi Vona71

Glad to hear your adventure, really glad you were not hurt. I got convicted of a 2'nd DUI about a month ago, best thing that ever happened to me. Hope walking up a ditch is one of the best things that ever happened to you. It can be if you let it.

Oh Vona, I'm so glad you're ok.

I really hope treatment helps and starts you on your way. I'm sending all my thoughts and prayers.

So scary, thank god you are okay! I'm glad you're going into treatment now. I look back on those last few terrible days before I went into treatment, and they are a powerful reminder of where I know I will end up if I drink again. Best wishes to you for a strong recovery!

Hi Vona. So glad you were not seriously hurt. Please be kind to yourself. You have taken the step to get professional help and I really, really hope it works out for you. Stay safe until it begins.

Hercules

Hi glad you are hear... Sounds like you had a lucky escape only the other day someone posted a thread on a Young lady that passed out drunk and died of the cold.

Good luck

Vona, what a terrible experience, I am so sorry for you. It is just amazing how it gets worse and worse, isn't it? You have been given a second chance, take it and make the most of it. Put everything you have into the treatment and make it work this time. Thinking of you.
