The Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Human
I was at a party. I was drunk. I was having a great time. And then I saw him. He was sitting in a corner, alone, looking lost. I went over to him and asked if he was okay. He said he was just feeling a little overwhelmed. I told him that I was feeling overwhelmed too, and that we should go outside and get some fresh air.
We went outside and sat down on a bench. We talked for a while about how we were feeling. He told me that he was feeling lost and alone. I told him that I felt the same way sometimes. We talked for a long time, and by the time we were finished, I felt like I had made a new friend.
From Loneliness to Lifesaving
After a while, he told me that he was suicidal. He said that he had been thinking about it for a long time, and that he didn’t know what to do. I told him that I was sorry to hear that, and that I was there for him. I told him that I wouldn’t let anything happen to him.
We talked for a long time, and by the time we were finished, I felt like I had saved a life. I had saved a human life, and there was no greater feeling than that.
