in order from minorly heinous to outright scary:
* drunk dial and totally forgot our conversation (sorry Sooz, Meem, Kate, Mom, Dave and many many others)
* cancel appointments 'cause i'd rather sit on my ass and drink, or because I HAD been drinking and wanted to cover it up.
* spent money I had no business spending.
* thought I was OK because I was a so-called "high-functioning" alchoholic.
* woke up with someone....who???
Ok, enough with the minorly heinous - let's get to the nasty stuff:
* Got behind the wheel of my car.
* Got behind the wheel of my car. WITH MY DAUGHTER.
* Got behind the wheel of my car, WHILE CUTTING MYSELF WITH A PIECE OF BROKEN GLASS.
* Had more than one "emotional affairs" online, totally disrespecting my husband and myself.
* Brought booze to a job I adored - lost the job, and lost the trust of many friends.
* Jepoardized my handicapped child's medical equipment, by accidentally leaving it out in the rain cause I was lit.
* Broke my ankle missing a stair.
* Screwed my pancreas up.
I'm sure there's more. This is an off-the-hip list - designed to slap me in the face when I read it. ;)
Thank you God.

ReplyDeleteIndeed, chica, we have all been there. You are not alone. And you won't be alone in recovery, either. Keep writing. We'll keep reading.
