Not valuable, expensive, or even useful things - just "stuff." For the feeling, I suppose, that I was "getting away with something" - and I was. Here are a few examples of my ill-gotten gains:" a roll of toilet paper, a gravy boat, a wheel of cheese (off a buffet) and last but not least, a huge floral arrangement.

o yes stealing things.. just little things. pink snooker ball in a sock, boys own annual, a dummies plastic leg (yes you read that right).. o and many more.. mostly i admitted and returned if i could remember where i got them. think i was a Klepto-drunk.... an invisible one of course

OMG! I can relate to so many of your stories. My thing was always texting. How I hated waking up every morning and reading the "funny texts" (or so I thought) I had sent, usually to my brother, never remembering what I had said, done or text during my night of drinking! One day me, my husband and my daughter went out early one sunny Saturday with my brother on his yatch. We went to this drive up bar on the water where there was a live band and we ate and we drank and we ate and we drank until we closed the joint down at 3 in the am. We did not realize till daylight that the boat was full of drunks we did not know. Some unknown person started fighting with another and we heard the words "I'll call the police" and then my daughter screams "everybody get off the f___ing boat!" and then I hear my husband up top crank up and race up the motor real loud, then my poor brother who owns this $200,000 boat jumps up trying to untie the boat from the bar, but it was too late. We was heading out with a post and a whole bunch of people we didn't know. Fortunately, the boat launch was in site of the bar so people were coming to get their friends from across the water and the others called on their cells for people to pick them up. We get to my daughter's house and her boyfriend has stayed up all night waiting for us and he starts fussing with my daughter, who screams "Fine! I'll just sleep on the couch!" and he says "Don't bother, I'm going to work!" Oooh, I would have been so embarrassed if I'd been functional, but we all just went to bed since we didn't know who we were or what all had happened. I always was the funny drunk and my husband was and is the obnoxious drunk, so people didn't really know if they wanted to hang with us or not.

LOL everyone, great stories..
I went to a "half-moon" party in Thailand.. got so drunk, I lost my digital camera with all my holiday snaps on it, and spent the next day asking the "locals" if they had seen it..
Another time, in Turkey, I got so drunk, I ended up at a german hotel in the middle of nowhere.. when I woke up I looked out a window where all the german people were dancing round a pool to cheesy songs.. I managed to sneak out and somehow (its a miracle as this hotel was in the middle of a desert!) managed to find my way back to the motel where my friends were.. I lost my shoes that night and had to make it back in bare feet.. our flight to go home was leaving in just 4 hours, if I arrived any later I would have been stranded in Turkey, with no money..

This is a freaky feeling. I am still young, and this was directly caused by the poison that I insisted on putting in my body.

As a footnote, it is amazing how much of my lexicon and speaking ability has returned to me now that I am af. Has anyone else noted this phenomenon?

Sure can relate to THAT. At first I thought it was just being out of the workforce for a bit. But no way...it's the grog.
Good news is that articulation improved enormously after a couple of weeks AF.
Let's hope it's not permanent.

Went with my boyfriend to a going away party for one of his colleagues. Was quite tipsy before we even got there. Proceeded to drink more at the party-It was a pool party btw. I vaguely mentioning announcing that the party was dull and we needed some excitement around here or something to that effect-It was a little more vulgar than that-so I won't repeat it. While in the pool I took my bikini top off and threw it onto the deck.. Oh, did I mention my b/f works for the Sherrif's Office! Took a LONG time to live that one down (if I ever did)! Oh, I could write a book of these kinds of incidents..I think we all can!

Heli, what did your boss say? hahaha!! I can feel your embarrassment.

I deleted many contacts from my phone and then started taking the battery out prior to drinking. UGH!!! Wow.

Nothing. But she was fuming with jealousy.

I have been sober for 5 months already and still walking into those.
Just the other day I stopped at the gas station accross the street and the attendant said "man last time I saw you you were bleeding from the head and could not talk". Wow, to think that I drove there too. I used to look online at the virtual trail of ATM reciepts I left behind as well. Always a few bucks extra too so I didn't look stupid buying a lone bottle. Was burning hundreds of dollars a month on it for a while.

The worst of all was the TWO times my ex caught me wasted and called the cops. Both times I ended up in the hospital, uninsured, and with a huge bill. Talk about waking up with regret.
I have a scar that looks like a lightning bolt on my bicep from incident one, when the cops roughed me up to cuff me. I should get a lightning bolt tattoo on top of it.

New here, and having a good laugh. Ok, so how about when you are emailing after WAY too many drinks and you have to close one eye so that you can see the screen while doing the one finger pecking to type. I am currently using all of my fingers with both eyes open, it is a good day.

OMG, one of my worst was my 40th. Was supposed 2 b a celebration of me, my friends, my life... Dream on! Got trashed the night before. Next day Ma's on the phone, I'm unconscious & don't hear it. Eventually get to her's late & hungover. She does her drama queen routine & cancels party. One friend & her partner travel home after driving 200 miles. Another hadn't left yet, was waiting as drama unfolded. If I'd been more with-it I'd have dealt with Ma & told friends to head to the nearest pub. As it was, I sat, smashed, sucking on a cucumber sandwich with my gorgeously, horribly fucked-up family thinking: "This is it, this is me at 40!"

Ok I finally read this thread - I have one (of many). Out on a Monday night, I get very drunk with a friend & we decide this crowd at the bar is so fun it's "shooters for everyone", we'll just call in sick tomorrow - we both hate our jobs anyway. Meanwhile - my phone is in my purse & speed dials my boss's son (who I used to work with) and gets his machine. It's recording my entire drunken conversation with the bartender and the guy next to me at his work phone for about 15 minutes till it stops. I call in sick the next day. The son calls me at around 10a, you know - to ask how I'm feeling . . . .ugh . . . .of course, I spill . .. promise him many meals & continue to feel the shame for a long time to come. (got rid of that phone of course right away . . .) Lucky I didn't lose my job - his dad was president of the company.

The most humiliating moments involve children. There are the times my kids have said, "But Mum you said..." and I can't even remember being asked, let alone saying anything.
One memorable night we went to a party at a friend's house. Our 4 kids and their 4 kids were friends, so we arranged to stay the night, thank God. All the adults got trashed, but I was the best. I collapsed on the floor in the hallway and my husband told me the next day, the 8 kids were taking it in turns to jump over me. Fortunately, I didn't need hospitalisation, because the other adults were all too drunk to notice me for a long while, although they sobered up when I vomited on the carpet. Luckily, the carpet was in the colours of the major food groups. Ah memories...
