Whats the most embarrasing thing you've ever done whilst really drunk
I crashed my car into a farmers field at about 2.30 am in the morning while drunk. I was the only person involved in the crash and it was a fairly quiet country road so nobody seen it happen. I quickly got the hell out of there before the Police turned up and breathalyzed me.
I made my way up to my sisters house which was about 40 miles away to avoid the Police. I got there at about 10am and told her what happened, she reluctantly told me I could stay in her house overnight and face the music the next day.
Due to my alcoholism I began drinking vodka and beer in her house that night and ended up passing out on the bed she provided for me. I woke up in the morning and was shocked to find I had pissed the bed. I must have been so drunk that although I needed to go to the bathroom, i did not wake up. It was stinking and the mattress was ruined
Thats gratitude for you eh?. Very embarrassing and humiliating. I sometimes remember those horrendous 24 hours when I get the urge to drink, it helps me to say no to my urge.
This story is one of many to be honest.
Anyone else care to share their most embarrassing moment while drunk?

I did a lot of embarrassing/dumb/illegal/immoral things when I was drunk. I think most of us have. I prefer to share strategies on how to get/stay sober though vs. dwelling on things that have happened in the past. They happened and we can't undo them.

One embarrassing moment was when
I was about 19 maybe 20, don't really
remember, but, I went joy riding with
a car full of folks and was sitting in the
backseat drinking bourbon and coke on
an empty stomach when I asked to pull
over. They let me out and im pretty sure
I lost it, threw up, then asked to
bring me to my apt. somehwere's in
the neighborhood. Because I was so
out of it, I layed stretched out on the
ground in the middle of an empty field,
looking up a a ring of people
looking down on me trying to find out
where I actually lived.
I did manage to focus some and pointed
to the complex a few yrds away to my
apt. window. I was walked to my apt.
let in and put to bed....by whom, I don't
remember.
Thinking back on that episode, it was
embarrassing to me. Of course, if I did
that in todays time, something more
tragic could happen.
Thank God im sober in recovery and
grateful to share my experience here
with others struggling with addiction
themselves.
Believe me, there is hope for many
who are finding a solution and a
purpose to help not drink each day
at a time.

Though probably a bit light hearted in intent, this subject is at the heart of why many alcoholics are unable to recover.
The most unpleasant thought I had in early AA was that I would have to face this stuff and discuss it with another human being. I was understandably reluctant, after all I had spent my whole life avoiding, minimizing and trying to hide it.
The shame set me apart from other AAs. I thought I was the worst case ever to come to AA and if thay found out what I had done, they would throw me out. It's a very lonely place to be.
The Big Book puts it thus:
" More than most people, the alcoholic leads a double life. He is very much the actor. To the outer world he presents his stage character. This is the one he likes his fellows to see. He wants to enjoy a certain reputation, but knows in his heart he doesn't deserve it.
The inconsistency is made worse by the things he does on his sprees. Coming to his senses, he is revolted at certain episodes he vaguely remembers. These memories are a nightmare. He trembles to think someone might have observed him. As fast as he can, he pushes these memories far inside himself. He hopes they will never see the light of day. He is under constant fear and tension - that makes for more drinking.
That was me.

I drank so much I was beyond even being embarrassed anymore. If I felt it, I drank it way right quick.
I have put the past behind me but some of the regrets I still have are not about embarrassing drunken behavior but of the friends and family I have hurt along the way.
Living amends is were my focus is today.

If embarrassing yourself is the worst thing so far, good thing to quit while you are ahead.
There are much worse things that can happen from drinking, like hurting people, and i don't mean feelings.

Thank you for sharing this, Gottalife. It's exactly what I felt. I minimized too, to avoid the shame. Facing the stupid things I did has been very good for me. Having a forum where I can do that and not feel like a monster is very helpful, and one of the reasons I love SR. I have not been able to talk to *anyone* at all about any of this in real life. I don't know if I'll ever be able to...Embarrassing stuff I've done: blacked out at my 30th bday party and jumped around til I threw up, fell on the ground (you know, the drunk stumble) around work friends, called a friend I liked and told him all kinds of personal things I would never have said sober. The most embarrassing is that I'm sure there are things I can't remember and that weighs on my mind. I feel tears coming as I write this, but it's good. I need to face it so I can move on.

By the way, for those that say these are useless threads or it's time to move on, I find that offensive. If you don't find them useful that's fine, but please don't discourage others with your negative comments. I see a lot of threads that I don't find particularly useful to me but I would never be so disrespectful as to post that, in case others feel differently and are made to feel dumb for starting that thread or wanting to post to a thread that someone else is downing. A lot of us are still figuring out our sobriety and feel sensitive about these things, small as they may be.

I could write a book. I side kicked a wall and put my leg in up to the knee and was too lit get it back out in any manner that might resemble coordinated. I think I sprained myself from ankle to hip in every direction possible then had a battle to the death getting by boot out (with my foot in it of course).
I don't see the problem with relating stories like this. Yes, the basic topic and end result aren't all that funny. But we all drank for a reason and some of the crap we did or situations we got into was funny back before it got serious and the humor was gone.
