Cries From The Abyss

At last! Blackout victims speak!

In graphic and intimate terms victims describe quarrels and physical abuse of loved ones, wild rides and tragic accidents, indiscriminate and unremembered sex, rape, violent crimes, even murder, indeed, all manner of uncharacteristic and unwanted behaviors that are truly destructive, brutish and bizarre.

Long silenced by shame and stigma, victims tell us more about blackouts than ever known before.

The long association of blackouts with heavy drinking and advanced alcoholism must end. Some people black out on a glass or two of wine. Others black out nearly every time they drink. Yet Government, Medicine and The Law refuse to recognize the problem and educate the public about a grossly neglected and misunderstood public health problem that effects everyone, whether they drink or not.
