i took an ambien at 4am, woke up in blackout. apparently took my car out and bought some vodka (I don't drink anymore) and was all over the roads nearby. I remember nothing of this, but I was reported in several locations in my town by concerned drivers. Once the cops got my plate they headed over to my house. I beat them there. On the way into the neighborhood I hit a small tree and a cable box. I jumped the curb cracking my bumper and losing 2 tires. One neighbor reports I clipped his car - no fucking way. There was a small dent looked like it was from a hailstone, but my man wanted to get paid and I was in no state to argue.
I drove over to what I thought was my house. THis is a condo so they all look the same. I try my key in the door, it don't work. I guess I lost it and started kicking the door in. Now the cops show up at my neighbor who says i hit their car and they get a call from my other neighbor whose door I'm kicking in and come rushing. I broke my toe on their door. I saw it the next week (I had to pay to replace it, dude was pretty cool about it) and if the cops didn't show up that door was going down deadbolt and all. the frame was cracked up the middle.
again i don't remember this, i got it from witnesses and police/hospital reports. cops show up and I have no idea what's going on. I get fucking tazed and they handcuff me to the ambulance that showed at some point. The group of these 4 guys wrestle me onto the gurney and strap me down with leather straps. I dislocated a wrist trying to pull it free.
Neither neighbor presses charges. My wife showed up around then and although she was fucking PISSED, she also didn't want me going to jail so she plead with the neighbors and they listened. The cop goes in my car and gets my insurance info to give to the other guy. I am not arrested.
This is approximately 12:30pm.
Ok now it is about 10:30pm. I missed all that time. I woke up, in the same straps. The nurses say I've been awful to them but I don't remember it but they're happy I'm lucid and calm. Doc comes in and is looking at me cock eyed says you have a real problem friend. Your BAC was .5%. You need to go into rehab or something. Whatever I'm paraphrasing. I told him I already quit drinking and yada. In the morning I called a cab and went home. Paid the neighbor for his new door, never spoke to the shit head who phoned in a fake claim, but I went and took a look at his car - there was no damage. The guy that came to look at it for me from Geico said the cost would be less than his deductible.
So that's all I know. I have taken Ambien ... hundreds of times. Never had an issue. The stars aligned man. I could've easily killed a lot of people and been dead. How am I not in jail?
