I embarrased myself yesterday with some things I said and did as a result of using alcohol and drugs. I feel so ashamed of my actions and it is hard to face it and get over the embarrasement.

Can anyone share some of their embarrasing moments with me so I don't feel like I'm the only one who has suffered from the embarrasement?

I wish I could hide my head under the sand. But in time this will all be just a bad memory, right?

I once locked myself INTO a pool. The gate had a locked behind me, and i didn't have the key on me, so I had to break out of the pool. Needless to say, climbing over the fence, while using a chair....didn't start or end well.

Ahh angel, I think every single one of us have had our embarrassing moments due to our addiction. Black outs while on the phone with my mom and my sister are pretty embarrassing to me. Lucky for me I didn't drink publicly or with people I didn't know very well. I've flashed my hubby when he had a friend over once. He didn't see htough, at least, I think he didn't see....lol

When I met my partner, about seven years ago, I invited him over to my new place for valentines day. Romantic night planned, etc. etc. It was supposed to be a big new start, new apartment, new guy.

The night before I had a huge drink fest with my sister and some guys who lived downstairs. The tequila seemed like a great idea at the time. Well one thing led to another and I ended up in a major fist fight with my sister. Smashed up my entertainment unit, she gave me a major shiner and the police and ambulance were called. omg.

When my bf showed up the next evening, I had to open the door and try to explain away my lovely black eye. "oh, it's nothing, just a little disagreement with my sister..." nervous laughter.

Looking back, how did I not get evicted on my first weekend in the new place and more importantly, how lucky am I that my bf decided to stick it out with me, that first valentines date should have been a huge clue of the insanity to come.

Fast forward to a few months before I got sober. Fell asleep in the bathtub after a serious bender, in the bathtub with the water running and running and running. Flooded mine and the two apartments underneath me. How I am still living in this apartment is beyond me. The worst part was that I didn't even wake up, my bf cleaned up the whole mess and I went to work the next day not even knowing that I had done it. Until I got the call at work from the owner of the block. And they went in my apartment and saw all the evidence, beer and liquor bottles EVERYWHERE. At the time, I didn't realize that they had been in my place so when they asked me if I had had a party, I was all like...."nooooo, just me and my sister visiting from the coast...." the owner was like, I see.......

I think that visit from my sister may have also been the time that we got into a fist fight on the fire escape in broad daylight for all the neighbors to see, she ended up topless and I think at one point I actually bit her. Again the police were called. I used to like watching the jerry springer show, until I realized that I was the jerry springer show.

Remembering all the events of embarresment makes sobriety so much more worth it. I used to just rationalize everything, oh well, just me having fun, just me living it up, just me being crazy. Not anymore. No time for that.

At a friends b-day party, I woke from being passed out......went into the kitchen (where the party was still roaring away) and decided the kitchen chair was a great place to go "potty".......I pulled my pants down, had a seat.......but THANK GOD, something made me stop and I pulled them back up and walked to the bathroom. Worst part, the kitchen was full of my firefighter buddies........all guys......and of course me a girl....... (I was an EMT on a small fire department at the time)

SAME party, I got hungry and decided a piece of b-day cake would be nice.......well, being the SMART drunk I am, when I couldn't find a fork, I walked into the garage, found a hammer and decided that looked like a pretty darn good fork.......my fiance at the time and a few others found me sitting there eating cake with a hammer!!!

Ha, my list really COULD go on but ya get the point!!!

Oh, Angelhugs, I wish I could help you out with this, but I've never done anything emabarrasing!! LOL I'm sure my husband could tell you about all the things I don't remember!!

Well, I guess, there may have been a time or two!!

Bowled with my bra around my ankles. Thought it made me bowl better. You should have seen how many guys showed up the next week to check out the action!!

Got kicked out of a strip club before I got in. I'm not gay and didn't think I should have to pay!!

Wore ROLLER BLADES into a bar. They wouldn't serve me because they saw me trying to get to the door!! I wouldn't put on my shoes!!

Was with my gay friend and decided to play a trick on some guys. Was laying there naked when the cops came!! Looked up at them and said, "What are you doing here? You weren't invited!"

Fights with women and MEN!!

Drank before my nephews baptism.(and I'm his God mother)

Drank while pregnant with my daughter!! UGH!!

The list goes on and on!! We all have things we are less the proud of. Now we just try to do better, one day at a time!! We just work through our "shameful" past. Never forgeting what got us to this point in our lives!!

This thread is funny. The things we do for the right to be called ALCOHOLIC!!

Hugs,
Missy

i urinated in my pants a few times

went on a trip and when i opened my suitcase all i had packed was 2 fifths of vodka

ate the dog scrapes that had been scraped off everyone's plate and placed in a bowl for the cats and dogs.

left my cousin's house in a blackout;came to and didn't have any pants on.i must have stopped and went to the bathroom on the side of the road.

i was the treasurer of an AA meeting and spent the money.


when you are in recovery your friends;family;etc may remember the embarrassing things you did but they will be so happy that you are clean and sober that those things will fade from their memory.they will be happy and remember the good things you are doing now.

I think the worst thing I ever did, that embarrassed me and I'm still ashamed of it at times if I think of it--I had relasped and my parents and ex hunted me down at an old boyfriends house. I was drunk and had been using. My parents were trying to get me to leave and I kept walking away from them, but in the end my dad had to carry to the car crying like a baby. I'm 25 my dad is 53 and I don't think he has carried me like that since I was a little girl. Probably not in like 20 years. I was humilated because everyone seen this happen and because I live on my parents property and had to face them the next day when I was sober. Lots-o-fun there.

One weird thing about it--That was my last relaspe and I haven't really had the desire to drink or use that much since. Something about my dad picking me up, the sad, hurt, teary eyes. It hurt me to see the hurt I was causeing him. I know he was worried about me and for him to carry me like I was his little girl again was a real eye opener for me.

Gooch

fell down frequently...

caved in other people's fenders

woke friends up at odd hrs to be released into their custody

having my name repeatedly in the paper for DWI

passing out in public

I could go on, but the point is that you are not the only one to have embarrassing moments. Just pay heed not to use that knowledge as I used to...

I used to tell myself "See I'm not so bad. Look at what ____ did"

When I fifnally stopped comparing myself to other sto disqualify myself from identifying as an addict, I could look at what I did and be sick enough of it to want help.

Little Missy

(((Running))) Beautiful story!! Really tugs at the heart!!

hotwingeatter

Woke up at a party couldn't find my pants.
Woke up in my yard several times.
Fell into my entertianment center, left a hole im my lip. Then I passed out and blead all over the carpet.
My worst one, It was christmas and everyone was stiring and I was drunk round the house. Tried to step over some children with oh such great care. The sounds of rustling and bulbs fell to the floor. I fell straight into the christmas tree in front of grandpa, dad, mom and all cusins nieces and nephews.
that is all I am willing to give.

I was walking past a Jeep dealership once after a long day at the bar. There was a giant revolving platform about 3 feet off the ground with a brand new Jeep Cherokee on it. It was RIGHT in front of the dealership. They used it as sort of their business sign. It was up front, right next to the sidewalk and road. A real busy, main road too. I guess I was tired because I had climbed up and go into the driver seat, reclined it down, and took a nap. A salesmen woke me up and told me to "Take my drunk, loser, a55 home."

Once, I was at a bar with friends (about 8 of us) and we were all at this big round table. Next thing I know, Im waking up at the same table, only nobody was there anymore and all the other people at other tables were staring, pointing, and laughing at me and the waitress had brought me coffee. Sounds embarrassing enough, but, I actually went back to that bar several times after that. No shame.

I once passed out in my car, alone, in the drive-thru line at a Burger King. I had gotten up to the speakerbox and I guess had begun my order, then passed out. The manager and about 5 customers from cars behind me woke me up. They had called the police, and once I heard that, I drove over the landscaping and speakerbox to get away. I never got any calls from the police so they must not have gotten my plate. This was about 7 years ago.

After drinking all day,.. I once played homerun derby in my friends backyard. We bet on the game. Loser had to walk to the end of his street naked. I lost.

I once climbed a tree for some reason in front of my girlfriends house at night. I tried to get down, but a branch broke. I fell the equivalent of about 2 stories. Landed on the heels of my feet and fractured my 15th vertibrae in 3 places. I told my girlfriend and the police that I had been hit by a car in a hit and run. They knew I was lying. I think they felt sorry for me so they didnt tell me they knew the truth. I had to wear a turtle shell cast for 6 months.

I have more,....I could write a book. It could make the embarrassed sellers list.

I dropped my baby girl on the floor.
But that still didn't sober me up.

All of my classic embarrasing moments, from public vomiting to sleeping on a sewer grate in the middle of winter pale by comparison.

I ran naked through a bachelor party one time grabing myself because I didnt have any coke for the stripper to do for me what she was doing for others! It was my roomates entire baseball team and friends. Oh that was fun. Woke up with an empty bottle in my hand still straight up in the bed with no lable on it, naked, room door open. I dont remember it but I have seen pictures....
I was asked to leave the room I was renting shortly thereafter.

Embarssing momments, I can post from now till next week with different times. This one just came to mind first.

My most public event is when I did a beer run while at lunch break while at my job. Went so well the first day I did it again the next day, at the same place! Its a long story but chased by the police took over an hour, went the entire length of the small town me hiding in peoples back yards (no fences) them yelling to the Police "He's over here!" it ended with my being caught in the San Francisco bay in boat and a Harbor Master arresting me, chained to the center of the boat on some pole, even made the front page newspaper. The whole town of Half Moon Bay was checking me out in the little harbor masters office which was all windows. I was on display like some kind of freak show. That was horrible!

My sponsor told me its not what I did then, its what are you going to do today about it.

had sex with my gf in a total blackout. she said it was the best she ever had and I can't remember a minute of it. then pissed the bed in my passed out state

woke up naked in the backyard once

became pretty well known at a local 'gentleman's club for a certain substance I'd snort off a certain part of a dancer's anatomy

missed Thanksgiving once, called my family in the morning during an all-nighter. then got so paranoid that they'd come after me and find me in a miserable state that I went and got a hotel room and holed up for three days...

gf found me with coke all over the coffee table, passed out naked with a porn dvd playing.

I sat on a hook and flasher used for Marlin fishing. The flasher was about a foot long and bright silver... then I had to go to the doctors office dead drunk to get it pulled out of my butt. I still have the scar. Needless to say I didn't feel a thing.
