And then it dawns on me that I cannot call my girlfriend (in my dream we're still together, it felt like) because I'm drunk ... can't call her on Valentine's Day, what a row my drinking will be causing now.

What a sh***y way to wake up. I can't even text her about it (even though we're on friendly terms), as it would seem like I'm "pressuring" her. What my drinking has cost me ...
