Is Blacking Out a real thing?

from 420 Reasons WHY I Quit Drinking Alcohol Hosted by Diane Gibbs

In this episode, I dive into a question a friend recently asked me: “Is blacking out a real thing?” For me, it was not only real—it was a recurring part of my drinking journey for more than half of my drinking career. I share my personal experiences of getting so drunk that I would black out, staying awake and seemingly functioning, yet later having no memory of what happened. I talk about the aftermath of these episodes, like discovering the hurtful things I said to a friend and wondering why she wasn’t speaking to me. It’s an honest and vulnerable look at the impact of blackout drinking and how it played a major role in my decision to quit.
