Through the eyes of others

Yesterday I went to the gym for a class. The instructor had been gone last week on a camping trip. I asked here how her trip was and she said, "Pretty good. Well one guy drank too much and got really stupid. Other than that it was great."
I couldn't help but wonder how many times some host of mine has been asked about their party and said, "It was relly good except for this one woman ....", or at least thought it. I'm done ruining other peoples events.

I cringe inwardly when people start those discussions....

Me too, and when they start asking or rather telling me what I did.....

The worst is in corporate meetings, when someone "cracks a joke" about Hi, everyone, my name is .... and I'm an alcoholic. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr..... makes me want to give them a bitch-slap. Jokes about being an alkie is only funny when real one tell them...

I just visited my BF and her FIL popped in to "remind" her of what she got up to last night. Apparently too many tequilas and she lost her bag, cell and house keys so had to break into her own house when she got home.
He was telling me word for work (including expressions) all the kak she was talking last night -- I cringe to think how often I was in her shoes.

Tip, maybe they are not joking at those corporate meetings.

My goodness, I have so been there. I was once invited as a birthday guest to an exclusive bush lodge. The hostess spent her birthday night, until 2 in the morning, searching for me. I was busy walking in circles in big five country where Black Mambas like to hide in the grass.

Next night I managed to behave myself, mainly because I was hung over.

The last night I got lost again. This time she decided to let the hyenas get me if they wanted, she was understandedly so angry.

Well Veritas, a Mamba bite would certainly sober you up just enough for you to realize you are on your way out!

Yip, I totally identify with the inward cringing over things I have done in the past. Over the last while (+- 3 weeks strangely enough ) I have decided to swing them in my favour by using them to strenghten my resolve to NEVER, EVER be that way again.

I agree Grim. I never want to be such a hooligan again. I often wonder how many times my guardian angel has had to work over time.

I think you are all fab and the behaviour is nt you and alcohol is an illness and what you and I did whilst drinking is not a whip to beat ourselves up with just a symptom to remember how ill we were - good luck every body
