Some Dumb things I did drinking

Just wanted to share some dumb things I did. Been sober over a year now but struggle. This might do me good.
  1. I got so drunk I don't remember putting my hand through a window and cutting myself up
  2. Having emotional phone conversations with family drunk. Crying during the call.
  3. Driving to the store drunk for more booze
  4. Getting into fights with my neighbor
  5. Putting my fist through the wall or door
  6. Drinking so much I got thrown out of the bar.
  7. Drinking so much I put myself in very dicey situations
  8. Stealing furniture from a bar drunk. What was I thinking there....
  9. Pretending to be from another country to get attention...getting caught for that
  10. Getting into stupid fights with my roommates...for no good reason

It's important during cravings for me to remember why I chose to quit drinking as well.

Ugh, these things haunt me. Are you looking for others to also share. I do not want to overtake your discussion, lol! I bet alot of us have long lists.

Moving forward, right?

Good thread. I did some things while drinking that I still can't talk about. I am glad it is in the past. I am lucky I survived, or didn't physically hurt someone else back in the day. At times I feel sorry for myself that I am an alcoholic, then realize how fortunate I am that I am still on the planet. I do wish I could take back the pain I caused others, but I realize that is not possble.

for sure if you have list feel free to post. It's not a contest though!

It is true how much less drama there is in my life now. Drinking just seemed to amp everything up to level 11 on the volume dial. Especially anger and depression.

Suffice it to say I did some dumb stuff.

Now my life is much more peaceful and I actually have hope for the future -- something I lost a long time ago.

1) Like you, drunk conversations with my family. I frequently cried and once threatened to kill my dad.
2) I got in a fight with the groom's brother during his wedding last year after pinching his wife's bum.
3) A few fights with strangers.
4) Vomiting in my neighbours' (notice the plural apostrophe) gardens on three separate occasions.
5) Falling down a flight of stairs in a pub and waking up with blood all over my sheets.
6) Urinating out of an upstairs window, during the day! Thankfully I wasn't reported to the police and my friend told me nobody appeared to have noticed.

These are just a few of the things I have done. A couple of the above happened in my twenties. I am now in my thirties and these things are beginning to hurt me a lot more.

When I think back to what I have done, the people I have upset and the arguments I have got into, I cringe. The funny thing is, I have been told I am a happy drunk, too!

Six weeks sober today! I never want to go back to waking up feeling physically and emotionally awful and paranoid of what I may have done that I cannot remember.

Not sure about the rest of you, but I was a *great* dancer when drunk. I think.... ugh.
But that is one I can look back at and laugh. If the worst that ever happenned was dancing like a fool, life would be sweet.

- slept with various, thinking they're "the one", and so I owe them sex, and after that we'll live happily ever after. WHAT a joke lol now

- called all ex-es and cried and generally embarrassed myself over and over and over and over again.

- vomited in my boots whilst sitting on a bar stool AT the bar. disgusting.

- ruined every single relationship in my life.

- ruined every event I ever went to, as I can't remember what was what.

Probably loads more which fortunately I can't remember.

Not too bad s.it actually, but enough to leave me with no friends, bad skin, terrible memory, scary anxiety and generally a s.itty life.

On 4th of July at around midnight I went outside naked and made out with my neighbor at the fence (we were both married at the time).

Opened the passenger car door as we were going 70 down the freeway bc I had to puke. That one scares me to this day.

Introduced myself to new neighbors.

1. riding my motorcycle to work after a long night and waking up with my head on the handlebars at highway speed.

2. coming to on a lake shoreline and locating my submerged boat.

3. my chosen opponent of the night refusing to fight saying, 'I don't fight drunks.'

4. fishing far out at sea in a little boat and guessing which direction land might be, but being completely wrong and finding an island by blind luck instead of going onward to Japan.

5. carving my girl's initials in a tree with a folding knife that uh, folded.

6. sharing my horror over a woman's stretch marks with the woman.

7. stepping into a fight because the really huge guy was twice the size of the little guy, who then left the fight.

8. getting in 3 seperate car wrecks during one weekend.

9. refusing to give the cops the information they asked for. Informing them they had no right to ask me questions.

10. getting caught making out with a friend's wife by both her husband and the woman I was cheating on my wife with that night. Figuring to whom I should act guilty made my head hurt.

I guess there were some benefits to drinking alone near the end.

I do remember kissing and trying to kiss some girls who had boyfriends or were really not into me.

It's funny. I have almost forgotten the awful tiredness that used to be my life. I guess the permanent hangover did a lot of that. As well as eating just garbage. You might be able to get away with that in your twenties but in your thirties everything I ate went right to my gut.

Thanks all for sharing.
