My Behavior While Drinking
Every time I look back at a bender, all I can think is "Man, I wish I could take that back."
Drunk me is a ******* moron.
20 days sober today. I look forward to continuing that trend.

Well done on 20 days. Yep, I'm suffering from this.with about a month sober. Every memory of when I was drinking makes me cringe. It does not make you smarter. It makes me literally a total stranger, and idiot, from when I'm sober. Hope this goes soon.

When you read my posts please don't consider them selfish.
I always try to insert I instead of you. It is my attempt to not preach or give advice.
Because what do I really know.
Anyway....
I was very kindled from unknowingly off and on binge drinking. I can remember as far back as the late 80s having panic attacks and other booze induced symptoms.
They got worse and worse with each, now I know, relapse.
I was insanity's doormat.
It has taken the better part of 4 years, I feel super cool. But, the av morphs.
I must be ever vigilant.
Semper vigilanti!
Suffering and education.
Love y'all.
Thanks.

We have to use the tools available to us to move past this stage. It will pass, lessen, basically pop up as less frequent memories of shame. 20 days is great, early, and a great time to start employing lessons and learning from a program of your choice.
Ive also found it takes a concerted effort to let myself off the hook as I gained confidence as a sober person who didn't behave in shame- and regret-inducing ways. That too takes time. It's worth it,

When I drink, I lose all self-awareness. I act on every impulse with no regard to the consequences of my actions. This has resulted in some of the most assine decisions ever made in the history of mankind.
To provide some context, after a night out at the pub I went to the local 24 hour grocery store to buy some food. Instead of buying something like frozen pizza, I bought a live lobster. When I got home, I realized that there weren't any pots big enough to boil it in. Flummoxed, I dumped some ice in the bathtub and put the lobster in.
The next thing I remember is waking up on the sofa to someone shrieking in horror then a nude woman running out of the bathroom. My roommate's girlfriend was up early and going to shower.
The last thing you expect to see in your bathtub on a Sunday morning is a live lobster. It would be a funny story if it not were for the fact that my roommate's girlfriend has a severe allergy to shellfish. Just coming in to contact with shellfish is enough to trigger a reaction that could kill her. She did not have an epi-pen on her. She said she was literally stepping in to the tub when she saw the lobster. She had panic attacks and nightmares for a while after.
That is just a small sample of how alcohol leads me to the heights of stupid decision-making. I almost inadvertently killed someone!
