Drunk Dialing

Mayday-
I read that book also, it was very good.

Towards the end of my drinking career I was also doing other things at night that I would find "clues" to the next morning. Like my wallet being suspiciously close to the computer...thus leaving me wondering what the hell I had bought online, then having to log into my bank account to see if it was overdrawn. I also know that I harassed my ex-boyfriends wife so much she finally left Facebook. Sober, I don't give a crap that he's married, but drunk, it obviously bothered me very much! I wasn't even her "friend" on there, but I could see her profile picture (of them) and that was enough to start the drunk texting to HIM, and so very nicely telling him that she looks like a Beast. Oh my, the stories could go on and on and on. I think it's good to remember this stuff though, lets us know how we don't want to be anymore.

I'm like you, K9--articulate and even grammatically correct when typing/texting smashed. I know the feeling of waking up in the morning and dreading checking text and call logs though...and I've done stupid things via Facebook too. Too many mediums for drunks to humiliate themselves!

Oh jeez, I've done it all except the 911!

K9 drunk purchasing was my thing too. It would always lead to a package coming, dirty looks from my then girlfriend and me opening it to see I ordered something I already owned but was to drunk to bother lokking for it. Oh drunk iTunes purchases were always bad too. I really should have had a breathalizer on my computer instead of a password.

Oh and like you again at the end I was a complete Jekyll and Hyde myself. That's what helped me get and stay sober. I really hated who I became.

I used to do all of this, too. But I had 1 rule and that was to NEVER do e-mail from work after I had 1 drink. Lord only knows what a mess I could have gotten into once my inhibitions were down and I started to email my boss and co-workers.

But, I have received packages in the mail for things that I ordered on-line that I had no recollection of purchasing and I have shamefully posted some embarassing stuff on Facebook.

Like Bella said, there are just TOO many ways for a drunk to humiliate him/herself these days. I had an embarrassing conversation with my boss once, the good (well, bad really) thing is that she is famous for drunk texting/emailing as well, so she understood. I really think that my embarrassment over things I said was what finally made me quit drinking. I was ashamed one too many times.

Just like they want to have a thing you breathe into before driving a car, there should be something like that on a phone!!

I remember (not that long ago) calling my sis-in-law - who I rarely talk to, but really like - and she answered the phone & I Absolutely hadn't a CLUE why I was calling!! What a dolt.

Since I pretty much don't text, don't get into trouble that way... but have hit "send" on an email here & there that I shouldn't have!!

OMG.

Thanks for starting this thread. I'm only on Day 2, but this is good fuel to keep me on track!

I've only been on here a day and I feel like i'm getting to know you all. I'm laughing at those similar places I have found myself in too. I cringe at the thought of some of the messages I have posted. The mornings I would wake with a pang of anxiety and oh what did I do as I start to piece my memory back together from the previous evening.

I'm looking forward to leaving those days behind!

I'm feeling more human and I think thats the first real laugh I have had today!

A drunken friend of mine called his local police station and was being abusive telling then he knew what they got up to on the nightshift with their truncheons! He though he was being funny and the cop kept him talking. After 15 mins there was a knock at my friends door and he said to the cop, ok I need to go now someone's at the door, sure said the cop knowing exactly who it was......:H

I've gone onto forums I normally frequent, when drunk and managed to pick arguments and once got banned (until I apologized to the webmaster). Next day I have no recollecton and get a surprise and heaps of embarassment when I stumble across my drunken and usually well written posts.

Well I'm thoroughly busted right here on MWO. Chill's post is probably a quote from me posting here drunk at 5am.

I had a dream once after drinking and thought I had phoned and made arrangements with a friend. So of course had to phone and admit that I'd had a few and couldn't remember the plans. "What plans? You didn't call me.":H

Then there's the "It's a quarter after one. I'm all alone and I need you now texts to the ex bf..." ugh!!!

Awwww cedars!!! Too bad that song isn't reality with the ex feeling the same way. Or maybe not....depends how you feel about your ex! That song makes me sad since I'm in the process of getting over an un-wanted breakup.

No Jewels...that was the problem!! He was always happy to oblige. Bad news. After a bottle of wine I would get lonely and minimize the bad stuff.

I remember reading some of your posts about your recent relationship. It struck a very familiar chord with me and my last experience. I suggested a book to you. Don't take that creep back!! Ok??
