Oh Sunshine, what a shocker. I think you need to deal with the injury first. I don't know what your circumstances are, but I just wanted you to know I've read your post and will help if I can. Others will follow. Should you go to the emergency room?

Sunshine... I know that must have scared the heck out of you! I too broke a tooth as a result of tripping last year, but not b/c of AL. I tripped early one morning while stepping into the shower. Caught myself with my arm very hard, but managed to chip off a portion of my front tooth which "crumbled" into my bottom lip. My lip was brutalized. Four hours, six stitches and an ER visit later, I was on for a journey of Lumineers! The good side is, my teeth look better than ever now. At least your tooth did not break!

Injuries are really scary as a result of AL, especially when we do not remember having them. Let this be the wake up call you may need to have experienced so you can now move forward in a determined way. I know it is so painful to wake up to this, but it makes you wonder how many nights we have drank to the same extent and not injured ourselves? Let is scare you in a healthy way and do your best to not let self-condemnation take over, but rather a renewed sense of determination to make the changes you know you can.

Tomorrow is a new day.

I am glad that you are OK and nothing worse happened to you. I can't tell you how many times I have drank myself to oblivion while being alone. I remember waking up one morning and my left ear was completely black! I had hit the night table while trying to get into bed (or I think it was from that). Another time I awoke to find a cigarette that had burnt itself out on the carpet in the living room.

There are probably numerous other things that have happened that I can't recall off hand.

You are not pathetic by any means. I am glad that you are seeing a doctor. Sometimes it takes a scary reality of what could have happened to realize how serious the problem is. :l

Lots of hugs Sunshine, I hope you feel better soon. I bet it scared you half to death when you saw the table! You are one lucky gal! Glad you're going to the doctors and I hope you recover quickly. I've smashed a few wine glasses in my day (usually at friends places) - but never a table. That must have been a hell of a fall.

Let us know how you're doing okay?

Sunny, I'm just catching up on the threads I missed last week while I was away. How familiar your story sounds! I won't tell you all my war tales, but the last one left me with a permanent, painful limp. I truly hope you've found your inspiration and don't get anymore booze bruise problems. Glad to see your mind is on the right path!

Claudia, You don't have to wait for a wake-up call . Just knowing that it's coming is enough. Good going Sunshine. I'm praying for all of us. I'm not a religious person, but I've been talking to a lot of clouds and trees today!!
