Listen, I'm sorry if I sound judgemental. Its not my intention. You are a victom of a near fatal assalt. The assalt is not your fault.
I've lost friends to violent attacks from strangers in Chicago. I've raised 3 kids in Chicago. I have a certain radar about bad situations. If the situation doesnt feel right, I move to safety ASAP.
Drinking reduces the ability to make urgent judgements about risk. That's what I'm saying.
