Thanks Dee, I'll check out the links and yeah, I guess you're right Dryscotsman, it could've been something a lot worse. It's just so annoying and pointless; it would've never happened without the booze. I have zero self control after a certain point when I'm drunk (and not a great deal to start with, or i'd stop myself getting there).

Thanks for the posts everybody. I think this is gonna be a wake up call, hopefully before that bad thing does happen - whatever it could be).

I've just been going through some of my old posts and saw this one. The error in judgement in question didn't turn out to be so. We're still together now, and my "friend" it turns out, was abusive, unstable and dangerous behind closed doors, causing all kinds of problems so things weren't quite cut and dried. He had all kinds of criminal convictions and stuff he'd managed to keep quiet from us all (we went back years, but hadn't seen each other for nearly a decade).
