Stories of an alcoholic
I thought I would share some of my drunken stories to help myself and others why sobriety is so wonderful.
I lost my girlfriend of 8 years because of alcohol. I was a drunken fool and because useless. I even physically abused her before and I am very ashamed to admit that I put my hands on a female... I am now in a relationship 8 years strong and although I have been drunk most of the time I have not laid a hand on her
I lost my precious Brownie (my dog) because I was drunk at my friends house and let her run out of the front door only to find her ran over by a car... I rushed her over to the vet but they could not do anything for her... She trusted me to be her best friend and father.. and I failed
I went out with my cousin to the strip clubs because he was a bouncer at one of the clubs. I ended up getting lost and they found me plastered at another club sitting with shots at the bar
I went out with my cousin to his friends house... I was so hammered that I ended up passing out in the car. When I came to I decided to go to the liquor store to get more drinks. I ended up fighting with another customer and got arrested. I was released the next day but my family was looking for me everywhere all night SMH
I got hammered and passed out on the corner of where I lived and the police ended up waking me up. They asked me if I knew where I was at and I stated that I was in another city then where I was actually at. I was lost on the corner of my own house.. SMH.. They took me to the hospital and cuffed me to one of the chairs. I acted like I had to throw up so the police officer had to un-cuff me from my chair. I ended up running out of the front door of the hospital and ran to the next city only to pass out again on another corner. The police woke me up again and they decided that they would drive me home instead of booking me into the county jail....
I went to the casino and "accidently" stole my table mates $100 at a poker table. I really did not know that I took the money because I was again too drunk... The security ran the surveillance back and I was arrested in front of everyone..
I went to the casino with my girlfriend and her brother.. I lost $4,000.00 of hard earned money on a gambling and drunken binge. I ended up getting cut off from alcohol by the casino and had my girlfriend and her brother bring me drinks... They ended up getting cut off also. I then bought a beer from another gambler... That was the last straw... They kicked me out... On the way home I was swerving in and out of lanes... I ended up running out of gas on the freeway... My girlfriend was so mad that she called my dad to come pick us up....
I got hammered at my girlfriend's cousins graduation celebration.. I ended up blacking out around the middle of the party... At the after party at her cousin's house I ended up letting some girl sit on my lap in front of her whole family. Of course that did not end well. I ended up in another city about 6 miles from the after party with no recollection of how I got there. I was awoken by the police while I was sleeping on someone's lawn.... They ended up driving me to the train station instead of booking me into county jail....
I have missed countless family events because I was either passed out drunk or too hungover
I have 2 DUI's and my third will lead me to deportation hearings from INS
I almost lost my life because of alcoholhttp://www.soberrecovery.com/forums/...m-tremens.html
I wanted to put this all in writing so I can remember why I am attempting to quit alcohol forever... I am 39 days in now and I couldn't feel better. I am tired of all the embarrassment and stupidity that alcohol leads to... I am sure you have some stories also...

I was travelling in Asia; on this particular night I was drinking mekong whiskey out of one of those little children's sand buckets ( that's how they served it, don't ask me- so yes, a bucket of whiskey)
I was in Laos.
Anyway I drank those till blackout, I don't remember a thing other than a brief moment of running barefoot alone through a rice field with no shoes.
I woke up in my room ( no idea how I got back there, I had a bleeding nose and drugs in my pocket)
To this day I have no idea what happened for about 7 hours.
They are very strict about drugs there, I could've ended up at the very least,in some putrid southeast Asian prison for god knows how long.
So many things could've gone wrong.
That's not the only incident like that either, that's just the one I'm telling

And then, there is the regret....for how I wasted time and things...learning to let go of regret has been a big part of my sobriety....and in a way that is still a work in progress. Perhaps it never goes away and serves as a reminder of what the Lord brought me out of and brought me into....
Perhaps reading about others' mishaps helps us see that we definitely not alone....
