Blackout

I’m not proud of it, but after managing to stay sober for two months. I had to much to drink yesterday and blacked out. Now I’m wondering if there’s some sort of a mental technique to help remember that exactly happened, as it scares me not knowing how I behaved and if I did something horrible. I just want to know what happened and, or why the fuck I overdid it so badly, because I am not even hangover In the long term I will simply stay sober again, so that something like this won’t happen again 😕 I’m so ashamed of myself!🫤

You are a good person with a bad disease.

It is unlikely that you will be able to remember what happened in your blackout because the brain didn't store it. That's how alcohol messes with the body.

It helped me to have support and guidance from people who knew how to treat alcoholism or Alcohol Use Disorder.
