The day when death missed me   
This is the story of my worst drinking experience.
I thought it was worth sharing after reading Erica's "latest 74 hours" blog.
Erica, this story is for you, so you can see you're not the only freak around :p

Back when I was 17 I was sent to this boarding school because of being kicked out of my school for smoking hash and carrying a butterfly knife in my pocket.

I had lost all my friends, and I didn't want to make any new ones, at this time I was pretty dark minded and not that sociable.

I got so depressed that I was getting stone on hash every hour of the day and spent most of my time listening to hard rock with my Walkman.

After 3 weeks of this school, on a Friday evening, before taking the train to go back home I felt like a huge need to get excessively drunk.

I went to the shop and bought a bottle of vodka, drank 2/3 of the bottle in 2 hours, before I had to switch trains in Marseille.

I switched trains crawling in Marseille station. I passed out in the second train, threw up all over, got thrown out at my station by some militaries, and slept on the floor there for about an hour, so my mom didn't find me and thought i'd missed the train.

When I finally manage to adjust my vision, which took me a good hour, I crawled over the rails to get to the phone booth and call my mom so she could come and take me home.

At the minute I stepped on the other side, I heard the sound of the train that nearly killed me and that I didn't hear coming!

Realizing somehow I could just have died if I had went a second later,
I crawled to the booth, finally manage to dial up my number after something like 10 tries, called my mom and passed out in the booth...

Kinds of stories you'll remember all your life I guess :)

I'm not surprised you were easily supplied as an underage. I never had a problem either it was just a matter of not getting caught. The cops in my town (very small town) I think were just extremely bored and I had heard a rumor that when they busted a party and confiscated all the booze and beer that they were able to drink it. I have no idea if that's true or not, but it would definetely be a bonus for them. lol :)

Yes it is that illegal. The cops really do enforce the drinking age of 21 in the states, but it doesn't stop youngsters anywhere from doing it anyway. In a small town especially kids are bored and party and cops are bored and find the parties to bust. lol ;) As far as the cops in that situation...I don't think they realized so many kids where going to fly out the back door so fast and get away. They were actually very concerned and spent hours looking for us with spot lights on the country roads. Of course we just thought they were after us at the time to catch and fine us. lol I guess they didn't completely take into account teenage stupidity.

yes our poor parents indeed! But somehow we turned out to be respectible adults. Ha Ha I blogged about one of my stories. It is titled Frostbite. I have plenty of drinking/trouble stories, but this is the only one that led me to a near death situation.

Well I was not such an angel as a teenager either but didnt nearly die, not that I can remember anyway! Now I have 2 teenage daughters, the eldest is nearly 17 and I cant decide whether its harder knowing what she's up to or not. Its a constant stress, never really sure what she will come up with next. We have already had to bring her home extrelemy drunk, just after she turned 16. I really hope I wasnt as much trouble to my parents as she is now.

I was also a parents worse nightmare as a teen and have near death stories to share. Maybe I'll blog about it. Thanks for blogging this it's probably a good reality check for all the youngsters on here that drugs and alcohol can actually harm you. Since when I was young I never thought of consequences of anything I did.

Certainly it isn't our mind that saved us, but God. The Bible says, the devils come to steal and destroy, but God is a giver of life. Not all, for all must face death one day, but only those who touch His compassion He will save.
Untimely death is always due to devils.
You have certainly made good of your life now and not disappointed the Almighty God for His love for you. Keep up with your love for yourself and others and with fighting the devils!

what about another story when you were swim on Mekong river, were you drunk?

I am very happy that you survived this. You know that God has plans for and was not ready for you to come home yet. God Bless you.

You must have had someone praying for you!
Reply | 12/31/2007 12:43:05 AM
That is really scary, but you know what they say, if it's not your time, it's not your time. I guess that gave you a great lesson and something to remember every now and then, and with that experienced you became a better that you are right now! Am I'm right?

Happy New Year, Marco. I wish you all the best!!

Hi! Marco - Well I'm so glad the booze & train didn't get u, or u wouldn't be here to be my new friend on Yuwie!!
I've be clinically dead 3 times (not from booze, other reasons)
each time have been up the light tunnel - my dead relatives on each side all telling me to go back I've still got things to do!!
Thank God they were persistant - cause it felt so good ! Life is so precious - If I had have given in & not come back I would have missed out on my niece being born, getting to know my cousin Sandy betta, meeting & loving the friends I have met since - I wouldn't be here, on my little Lappy getting to know friends from all over the Globe!! I'm 51 - looking after my Mum & I have a vision of creating Selfsubstaining Communities for kids with challenges - Maybe Yuwie is the answer to fulfilling my vision. Take Care my friend - Life is full of miracles & yours is one! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

Good that you overcome that situation. God has reasons for everything and He has reasons why He kept you till this day.

I hope everything is well with you today, God bless and Advance Happy New Year!!!

I bet that adrenaline rush felt better than the vodka and hash combined!
Reply | 12/28/2007 6:58:15 PM
Great story i am glad the train didn't get you !

- I am still in need of rescue at 48 years of age !!

I was drunk last night and collapsed in the shower at my condo ! I was rescued by my girl and her friend - apparently it is a regular occurrence :)

Hi Marco. I nearly drowned under a waterfall once, although I was sober at the time (just stupid...) It certainly does make you want to embrace life and is one of the reasons I believe in miracles. And yes, you'll never forget that experience. Love & light to you
