On Thursday night my old boss and I decided to have dinner. We were great friends and haven't seen each other for 12 years. He is newly married and very happy.
So, we met for dinner and over 3-1/2 hours with lots of food, 1 martini, 1 pinot with the main course and a cognac following the dinner. I remember feeling a relaxed and happy but not bad, got into my car, had a cigarette and have no memory of what followed until I woke up in jail.
I still don't have the police report, but apparently I hit a car. I do not understand the blackout at all, honestly I do not. I never go to bars or drink and drive. I had been fighting a cold and took some dayquil during the day, but is it that lethal?
Of course I couldn't show up for my babysit and bail cannot be posted until 24 hours has passed. My daughter drove me home silently. I cannot even explain how devastated I feel (close to suicidal), the humiliation of a TX jail is a scar on the soul.
My friend emailed me the next day thanking me for a wonderful evening and he said I had left my wallet at the restaurant and he and his wife dropped it by and we promised to all meet up later at their home for a pasta dinner. I needed some info from him re - is that all I drank and he said yes you only had 3 drinks in 3-1/2 hours. He is now refusing my calls and my emails.
My husband took this opportunity to ask for a separation, even though I knew when he visited me at Thanksgiving he had something else going on.
I take full responsibility for all of my actions, but I am so confused as to my blackout.
