From Chapter 11 of Alcoholics Anonymous....
"But not so with us in those last days of heavy drinking. The old pleasures were gone. They were but memories..... The less people tolerated us, the more we withdrew from society, from life itself.... Some of us sought out sordid places, hoping to find understanding companionship and approval."
My daughter when studying psychology at school decided to read the AA big book. We discussed this passage. I was identifying with all the statements accept the highlighted one.
My wife guffawed (that best describes it). "You sought out sordid drinking holes from day one you couldn't go any lower". 🤷🏼♂

I used to sneak out in the middle of the night and walk over to my friends house who was also sneaking out.

Oh the amount if times I literally almost died out in the middle of a field somewhere is more than I'd like to admit 😅

couple of times I should have rolled my car over and died in a fiery wreck
glad I didn't hurt anybody else driving in the condition I was in.

What doesn’t kill us, makes us stronger right?
I know of a dozen or so instances where my life or health dodged the proverbial bullet.
I am fortunate. Stupid from the looks of it but fortunate. 😌

Most extreme thing I did was when I was seventeen, i dated a surfer and we used to sneak off to the beach , make a bonfire and go for a cheeky dip in the sea then we would just chill watching the sunrise 🌄
