Karma

I tried to dance with my fiancee tonight and accidentally dropped her on her back and hurt her. Because I'm drunk. What a man. 😔

I'm sorry your gf was hurt but I'm not sure I'd call that Karma, Owen.
Its just the natural consequence of an alcoholic trying to drink.

sounds like you had a few more than 2/3 beers tho?

I hope your fiancee wasn’t seriously hurt. Does she need an ambulance? I hope this is a wake up call for you at least.

Gotta agree with Dee on this one Owen. Not Karma. Consequences of an alcoholic trying to drink.

Dont get me wrong Owen, no judgement here. I've had so many falls, walked into so many telegraph poles, it's a miracle I'm still alive. Fell between a ferry and the wharf once. Still can't figure how I survived that one. Defied gravity.

Was thinking it's such a good thing that you got upfront about "just having a couple." You've known all along Owen is what I reckon. Just wanted confirmation.

Hope your gf is ok.

Jeezus brother. What's it going to take? Karma? Not yet. Karma is when some drunk jacka$$ drops you on your back and hurts you. Time to take this a bit more seriously? I'm proud of you for coming on here and telling us what happened.

I hope your fiancee is alright. I hope you'll stop drinking before something even worse happens.

Is your gf one of those gf's who would like you to have a few drinks with her Owen?

Does she know alcohol has been problematic for you?

Have you told her? Is she a moderation theorist? I've had a few of them in my life.

Are you mutually reinforcing your drinking behaviour?

Not drinking is so much better Owen. Get on the bus, it's a scenic tour.

Just sayin'.

And that would be Karma.

This applies to a lot of things in life for me.."Play stupid games, win stupid prizes"
I'm done playing the stupid drinking games and winning prizes because my trophy case is full.

I always finished up with the booby prize.

Since I got sober I’ve never done anything I regret.

I just read this quot from Lt. Gen. Russel Honoré..."Don't get stuck on stupid"
Fits me at times.

Are you still there Owen?

Hope you come back to let us know how you are going?

The things we do when drunk can be really upsetting, but at same time can make catalyst for change.

I bet you are a really good dancer when you're sober.

Not karma, just a consequence of alcohol. And, those will keep on coming until you stop drinking.

I hope your girlfriend is okay.
