My Last Drunk

My last drunk occurred on March 07, 1996. There wasn't anything unusual about it. I had probably gone through a significant portion of a liter of Jack Daniels with some CocaCola and passed out.
The only reason I remember any of this is because it was on March 08 1996, 'The Day After', that I called my employer's 800 Hot-Line and signed up for outpatient treatment for alcohol at a place called 'Alternatives in Treatment'. After that I went to AA and picked up a White Chip. That was fourteen years and two months ago. That's pretty much how it happened. Scary but worthwhile trip.

My last drunk wasn't really a drunk because I had gone past the point of really being able to get drunk. I had to consume quite a bit of liquor just to get to sleep and then still woke up stone sober and shaking about 4 hours later. i Took another couple of drinks to allow me to get back to sleep, and then woke up again about 5 AM. My wife caught me in the kitchen drinking a beer to stop the shakes, and demanded that I go to the doctor that day instead of going to work. Saved my life. I went into the hospital fo 5 days and then outpatient treatment. Sober and in AA for 14 months now. Whew!
