-not remembering conversations I had and having to ask questions to try to put together the events of the previous night
-yelling at my kids (which I very rarely do now)
-drinking at EVERY event there was...birthdays, graduations, weddings, funerals, first communions, confirmations, anything...
-finding out I had a fatty liver after having a sonogram and lying about my alcoholism to my doctor
-lying to myself
-lying to others-calling in sick with a "migraine"
-going to different liquor stores to "hide" how much I was drinking
-needing the "hair of the dog" the next day to feel normal again
-the endless mornings of promising myself that I would stop today....and then drinking again
-getting behind the wheel of a car and wondering if it was okay (yeah, I did it)(thanks be to God that no one was ever hurt!)-how STUPID I acted
I always drove drunk! I made myself believe that I drove better drunk than I did sober because everytime I had an accident, I was sober.

The brain-stem headache.
People treating me stupid--cuz I'm acting stupid.
Crashing in through the house and careening toward bed.
Movies I have seen but don't remember.
Realizing I've done things that seemed fun but which I really feel are reprehensible.
Drunk talk.
Retelling stupid stories to stupid people.
Worrying whether the people at work can see.
And more.
Nice idea!
