In fall 2005 I became clinically depressed, about as severly as you can get depressed. And so, after not much thought and no consideration as to how it would affect me, I started a viscious binging cycle,drinking a bottle (either 70cl or 1 litre) a week, crashing, buying more, then binging again to try and counter th crash.

I did this for about 5-6 weeks, until I became too depressed to leave my room, and so couldnt get to any shops to buy any more.
I managed to work my way out of this episode, slowly at first and then picking up speed, soon I was able to leave the house again. Soon after this, I decided it would be nice to have a drink again, so I ventured out round my village with a few old friends. I though 'why not just get a half bottle?', but the local shop had no half bottles, the next size up was 70cl, so I bought that instead.

I drank strieght from the bottle, and had drunk half of it in about 15 minuites, and not really feeling the effects, drank the rest of the bottle.

Bad move - I dont really remeber much after that, but I must have done and said some awful things to the people that I was with, because now, they all wish I was dead. By some querk of fate, I managed to stumble home, and my parents took care of me.

I swore I would never get drunk with friends again after that, but I should have said I would never get blind drunk again.

About a month afterwards, I was still pretty down, and just wanted to escape from it all, I knew it would be stupid to get drunk around people again, but I couldnt resist doing it on my own, surely if I wanst around any one, I couldnt do any thing, could I?
I bought a litre of vodka, and when I was left in the house on my own one friday night (my parents where at a party and my sister was at work) I thought I would get a bit drunk.

Again, I didnt stop at the half-way point, and again I became compleatly legless. I passedc out in a pool of my own vomit, god knows how I managed to be on my side at the time, because I didnt choke to death. My sister came back, and couldnt wake me up, so phoned my parents, they came back, and sorted me out, I have no idea why I wasnt taken to hospital for my stomoch pumping.

I woke up the next morning with the most horrendos hangover ever, and my skin had eruppted in hundreds of blotches, presumably an effect of the toxcicity levals in my blood.

3 months latter and I am still only occasionaly alowed out, and never alowed in situations where I may have the chance to buy more alcohol. I am 16
