I had very few blackouts in my using days. No embarrassing stories to tell about what my friends told me I did. The few times that they occurred, I was alone and apparently never left my home.
I found myself coming to once lying in my bathtub with my arms crossed over my chest as if I were a vampire awakening to the night. What happened for the the 3 - 4 hours that I was in the blackout? I have no idea, and there was no one there to tell me.
There are some horror stories I have heard though. The parent who come to at the hospital only find out that their spouse and children were killed while he/she was behind the wheel in a blackout. The same person being hauled off by authorities having no memory of last 24 hrs.
Who know what I could have done if I had left my home in a blackout. I have a lot of ‘yets’ in my story.
Staying clean helps me to keep the lights on - one day at a time.
