Drunk Dialing

HI GUYS Thanks for starting this thread, the most embarassing thing that I have ever done when drunk and I have done zillions is applying online for a job that I have absolutley no experience for. Apparently I typed up a 12 page selection criteria, even giving a very detailed account of a trip to the middle east (Morocco; Iran; Saudi Arabia): ...I have never travelled out of Australia!!!!! Well to cut a long story short, I got the job!!!! 320 applicants and they picked me...can you believe that!!! I was stunned. i have no recollection whatsoever of applying for it. Of course I had to grascously turn it down. When I went back into my PC and saw what I had written, I couldnt believe it!! i had stepped up from drunk phoning/crying ranting to my ex to applying for international high flying jobs funny/sad. Just a good example of what we are capable of doing when we are in a blackout and it scares the hell out of me. AF 17 days and feeling great.

Good girl! You will. We find out as we age (well some of us take longer than others ;o)) that the hardest thing to do is often the best thing for us.

I stumbled on this thread and HAD to resurrect it.......it contains some classics.

I fear there may be one or two on here , now sober that wish it had stayed buried ! :H

My drunk misdemeanors resulted in my having to suffer, at every family dinner, being reminded that Guthy Rencker would have gone out of business if I was sober.

The amount of crap I have bought off the tele is frightening.

Alcohol, televisions and credit cards should not be allowed to occupy the same room!

Oh my.....LOL


I was the king of internet thuggery........I was banned from a local motorcycle message board 9 times. Some people loved my drunken rants, and some hated them, I was just embarrassed by them.

I say it everyday, thats one of the things I do not miss about AL and who it made me become. It was a real life Jekyll and Hyde....man I can get mean. I can soooooooo empathize with the waking up and the Ohhhhhhhhhhh nooooooooooooo feeling...................:H

Wow, guys. Once again a gift from MWO. My AL sister has hurt me deeply with her words a few memorable times when she was drunk. I never thought to consider that it wasn't really "her" saying those things - and maybe she didn't mean them. I was never a mean drunk, just a tired and too loud one. So today is a good day for forgiveness.

This is a great thread...all are things that I've done multiple times except the 911 calls. I've been here off and on for so long now. Think I'm going to be one of those who doesn't make it. My heart desperately wants to stop drinking. I am one of those mean drunks, which is so not me. I've alienated people and hurt those I love the most. I just don't think I'm strong enough to do it. I can go days AF, but thats about it. I look at the hurt in my husband and children's eyes when they realize I'm drinking. Didn't mean to share the ugly stuff; its just who I am now.

Isn't it amazing to know the things you have done/said and simply do not remember?
To ponder the implications of what all that is doing to your brain?
A guy in my company drunk dials a lot, and he called some higher ups drunk. He was told about it in no uncertain terms and blamed it on Chantix. He is very good at his job and now seems to resist the calling, though I know he is still drinking at home alone a lot.
That's what it came to for me-drinking at home alone. Pitiful really.

Having done so many stupid drunken things, I think I actually learned a little tolerance for people who have said drunken things to me. I have always found it more difficult to forgive myself than anybody else. I have a friend who drinks every day to the point of blackout and he seems to enjoy the attention he gets, he says he feels no embarrassment, he is pictured on so many mobile phones passed out. I would die of shame. I cringe when anybody remembers my drunken escapades.

Oh Hopeful, I can relate to you, I only seem to hurt the ones I love. I always think I won't make but we can if we really try. I felt like drinking today, but came on here instead. I managed a few months sober and just one day I lapsed and have beaten myself up since. But feeling stronger now.

Thanks Capricorn! I don't know many people who are in my situation. My family thinks that I should just not drink. I wish it was that simple. They are convinced that I should have control, and I just don't. My heart really wants to stop, but my head tells me "oh you can just have a few like everyone else." That is simply not true. One drink turns into 7 or 8, and then I have no idea what I've said or done to anyone. Certainly nothing that I am proud of; just seems to be my reality!

Don't you love it when people are like "JUST STOP"? Oh yeah gee thanks I will-it's so easy.

Either they get it or they don't. The inportant thing is that WE get it

I actually don't have a problem with drunk email's or conversations. At work, and this is not good, but this is why I don't get fired I just get eyebrows raised I tell my managers how amazing they are and how its all my fault.

Its kind of sad maybe but I'm a really, really nice drunk. I tell my friends how much I love them. I tell my friends they are beautiful. I make peace with anyone I've had trouble with. You'd think I'd smoked pot (!) I don't (can't stand the stuff) But no one has ever complained about me because they always say, "oh honey, you are so sweet when you're buzzed!" and I guess its true. There's not a mean bone in me so whatever comes out when I drink is just enhanced. Good, I suppose, but not so good for strenght and credibility and at my stage in my career I most definitely need that. I'm not a jr. lvl employee. I have a high level of responsibility and the salary that goes with it. So the sweety pie stuff needs to go bye bye. I can't help it though, it's my need for acceptance that goes way deep, sober or drunk. It's always there. I want everyone to love me.

I guess I hope when I can get this drink thing behind me I can get tough. I really don't know though. It's never been my nature.

I just remembered another incident of which my kids remind me.

I got really into a video game that had a face book forum, when drunk my sometimes bizarre sense of humour would kick in and I was KICKED OFF a game forum.

Now THAT is class! :H:H

When you get sober you will get the confidence to tell peeps you love them when you are sober.

You don't need to get tough to be successful
