I think if she was in a black-out, which I believe to be the right terminology?,
that her alcoholism, must have been quite advanced.
I don't know the answer to this...do heavy drinkers have functional black-outs? I didn't think so.
Southcity mom, you are one courages person to share your story so openly
with the rest of us. It is hard for some to understand but for us to keep our sobriety, we have to share our knowledge of alcoholism and our past in order
to remain sober ourselves and yet we risk losing the esteem of some posters to do that. thank-you
Can't speak for others but imo..... southcitymom and many others (including you) have stripped their souls naked in this thread for the sake, and with the hope, that one life may hear and others lives may be saved.
imo that shows a strong and trusting self esteem which in the long run makes us all feel better, be better, no matter what our issue in life may be.
Hope this makes sense....does in my head but that's not always a reliable determinant lol
