I sent a bunch of friend requests to people I probably wouldn't have if sober. Now I'm getting their responses that they accepted the friend request and I'm like......who the heck is this?
And yet we are now friends...........................

I just did super manipulative, attention seeking, crazy behaviour. Some knew I was tanked, others (guys) thought I was just into them and wanted their attention because all of a sudden out of nowhere, I quit ignoring them.
Some of the stuff I did seemed to coherent due to my tolerance, I cant believe it passed at times as authentic.
I feel horrible about it all.

Oh god, I would be so manipulative. Just seeking approval. I would send texts to old flings and such out of the blue. The worst worst worst waking up in the morning and wondering which old girlfriend's bf/husband I had pissed off the night before

I always thought that should be invented lol I would block people on facebook and then when sober accuse them of "defriending" me. Geez...thanks for this reminder. Another reason I do NOT want to drink and I need all the reminders I can get today

One thing I really, really like, amongst many, about not getting drunk is that I don't have to try to piece together who i talked to/texted/messaged the night before. And then I would have to try to figure out what I said to them. It was often embarrassing; both in what I said and in the fact that I didn't remember half of what I said or heard.
The fact that I was out of control like that and was exposing it to other people was something I really didn't like about myself when I was drinking. I got it under control for the most part while still drinking, but its much easier to just not drink.

Oh wow...did I ever. I always thought I needed an app that blocked me from texting or Facebooking after I had been drinking because I was ridiculous. Turns out sobriety is a good app for that.

I used to use Facebook as a cover for my binges 'got the flu' 'pulled a muscle at the gym' etc but stayed away from it when drunk. I usually avoided texting or ringing people because I was afraid of the, either judging me, or more terrifying, trying to stop me!

I am totally a drunkard on facebook, I would rant, usually people would find it funny but usually I would have to go back and delete them the next day. I don't even want to think about the stupid sh*t I did like that while drinking (As I was usually alone left to my own devices)

Oh yes. I'd often wake up to texts from my sister saying: WTF...why did you say that/attack that person, etc?? I knew it was getting bad when she said I'd be doing myself a favor if I gave her my password so she could delete my insanity.
I am currently on an apology tour with my family over some particularly obnoxious posts.

Ah yes the apology tour. That tour has gotten really old for the people around me, Im afraid.
Sobriety is the best app for not doing these things. Another good reminder to stay sober...not drunk Fb, texting or calling.

They used to call it "drunken dialing" in the dark ages when we just had phones.
I usually didn't, but this time I went on FB a few times, nothing bad, but getting really silly and I went on a forum and was mean to someone because I didn't understand what they wrote. Still embarrassed. Of course, I watched a recorded show I had watched the night before. My husband said "didn't you watch that last night?" so I told him I had fallen asleep--more like I had fallen drunk.
Signs I am not handling this like a normal drinker, perhaps??!!
