I just got a horrifying wake up call re: my drinking problem
Good question
trying, I often thought of how horrible I must be for the things I've said when I was drunk. But, I just think that the chemical reaction in the brain causes you to be a different person. For me, I think, am I the same person in my dreams? Sometimes I'm not. Sometimes I'm in a completely different body, or have different house, or family, or can speak to animals, or some other bizarre shit. And being asleep is as close to being drunk as I can think of. In both situations, you are unconscious, right? I just don't buy the whole "alcohol is a truth serum" shit. I've been told the next day, the things I said to people, or about people, and I didn't understand it, cause I honestly didn't have bad feelings toward them. I know for me, when I get too talkative, I can hurt people's feelings cause I think I'm being funny. Kinda how us guys will bust on each other if we are friends. We can say some pretty vicious stuff, but we know its all good, cause we're buds. But, get comfortable around people you don't know that well, and say the same stuff (all the while thinking you're a comic genius), and you come off as being an ass. It's interesting how many times I would do this, and when I sobered up, I thought to myself, "wow, I can see why nobody thought that was funny. I must have been really f***ed up!" Needless to say, I always feel guilty anyway. :upset:
