Please God....when drunk I am NOT MY REAL SELF. That kind of "honesty" is not actually honest, it is letting out unfiltered, unmitigated rage that usually has little to do with current target. Every adult has ambivalence and needs that are not met by anyone in their current life. This is perfectly normal. Healthy adults deal with these in mature balanced creative ways--and therapy can really help a sober person willing to grow, personally.
You may be right, bixbees. I've just, for the longest time, been told and made to feel like what I did when drunk or blacked out defined who I really was. I have been holding on to the slim hope that those people were simply lying. Because, phew! The drunk me is a terrible human being. Thanks for this eye opener.
