One of the things I did in early recovery is make a timeline story about my drinking. coingod, it's a great thing to have to be able to read back on and see the progressive bad behavior.
From the teenage keggers right up to the lurking under a dangerous criminal's balcony trying to, "catch them in a lie," while chugging rum and falling over - and everything in between...the drunk facebook posts, the lurid text messages, the going to ten different stores so the clerks wouldn't know, the midnight recycling on the down-low, the ten mile drive home that becomes twenty because, "There aren't cops on the back roads." Then driving my car off the road and leaving it there, wrecked. Ugh. I'm lucky that no one was hurt. So lucky.
I have pages and pages of that kind of stuff - most of which I would never talk about online or out loud, it's that embarrassing or scary.
