My memory!! It’s back

One of things I was most ashamed of was drinking too much and not being able to remember anything. My teenage daughter would remind of things I never remembered her telling me 😔 or I would wake up and check my text messages or Facebook to make sure I didn’t say or do anything to offend anyone in my drunken state. I don’t want to EVER see those days again!

Yes. That used to happen to me often. I would see something I wrote and get this horrible sinking feeling that’s indescribable. Don’t miss that. A lot of times I would be reminded of something I said or agreed to and have to pretend to know what the person was talking about.

I absolutely hear you Blessed! So many many shameful mornings feeling sick to the pit of my stomach, checking the phone and seeing I had called people, then checking how long I had been on the call to them, realising I’d had a pretty long call and having no memory at all of doing it. I too don’t miss that feeling and will never have to feel like that again! Keep it up, you’re doing great xx

Ooooh yesssss!!! I can also relate to that! My son commented yesterday that I seem more "clever" than a while ago

can just imagine HOW "stupid" I must have seemed to him a while ago

Yes! I especially felt it at work. I just wasn't sharp, or on top of things. I couldn't come up with names or quickly solve problems. I've been sober mostly since August 1; 10 days straight; already I'm feeling much more on my game.

That is one of the reasons I do not want to slip again. I really need and want that sharper brain.

Good luck Blessed and everyone on this chain. I'm cheering for us all! (I just discovered the emoji button, so I've gone a little emoji nuts … hee hee!)

That awful horrifying moment checking phone social media etc soul destroying and the times I had lashed out reading bk the texts the shame fear and self hatered was off the scale. Next days spent in terrible anxiety abuse it it trying to sort out the mess. Just awful I agree
