I blacked out for about a week once... remember having stolen a car... and sleeping in a park... my friends told me I was a jerk, but didn't really do anything else stupid. My routine at the time was to wake up and drink a large cup if coffee that was about 50% whiskey, drink beer for lunch, and get drunk again after dinner. I did this for about 4 or 5 months on a daily basis and truly lost my grip on reality... anyways, that was one of my bigger wake up calls, but I continued to drink a few more years after that... hitting my 5 year mark in about 2 mos.

I know a lady who 'woke up' after a week about 3000 miles from home, in NY City. She'd been raped and had no clue how she'd gotten there. She wasn't missing any money.... she also sobered up.
