I wouldn't call it ego death for me, more like serious meditative state, but this reminded me of a story.
I was 17 years old and my friends and I decided to go into the city to a friends place where they had access to copious amounts of booze. We parked out car in Hoboken and took the train in. Furious "end of the world" drinking ensued in the city. We took a cab to the train station and I had to have the driver pull over so I could vomit. We get to the subway station and we realize that I'm the only person who can drive us home because my friends are younger than I am. We can't go back to my friends apartment because his parents we to be home in a few hours (It was like 4am) and he was NOT to have people over so passed out drunk children on the floor would be bad. Nobody I knew who had a car was awake or could answer their phones.
So I decided that I was going to drive after I sobered up. On the train I sat down indian style and seriously, for the first time and honestly the last time, meditated to an almost catatonic state. I focused on nothing but being sober. The train took a bit since we were uptown. My friends told me they were taking photos of them f*cking around with me. Balancing a shoe on my head. Sticking my own finger up my nose. I remember it but I was truly not affected by it in the slightest. It's ad if I was watching it while floating above my body. It was weird.
We got back to Hoboken and I snapped out of it. I still needed a little time so when we got to the car we waited about 30 mins before I drove us home without any real issue.
I should NOT have driven home. This was the last time I drove drunk. Learned my lesson by being totally baffled I didn't get arrested that night. I was 17 and stupid.
Yet...
I drove home one hour after telling a cab to pull over to vomit. I was pretty blitzed when I entered the train station and when I came out I was, seriously, almost sober. Pretty crazy.
