  • I had a roommate who barged into my room in the middle of the night because he was sure that one of my other roommates was blasting rap music whos lyrics were all about him, and that there were a bunch of other people in her room with her laughing along with it. I went upstairs and there was silence. I had to calmly tell him he was hearing things, and that nothing of the sort was happening. I knew he had recently decided to quit drinking because he’d slept through an alarm and his job threatened him. Thankfully, I had another roommate awakened by the hub bub and the two of us talked him down and the next morning he checked into a hospital. He was there for five days, over Thanksgiving. He told me he didn’t even realize what day it was and was just pleasantly surprised they gave him turkey. It’s scary but hopefully you can find a way to get them resources to get over the initial withdrawals and stay clean.

    Just remember Amy Winehouse didn’t die from an OD, she died from alcohol withdrawal
