Another problem I had.<br /><br />By the end of my drinking, I would think "I need to hide the phone somewhere so I won't call anyone". Pretty scary way to live. And the morning after shame and fear of what I said? Especially since I normally had blackouts and could remember nothing of the night before.<br /><br />Thanks for the reminder, Emily - this is one of the things that I am truly grateful for today.Darcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08173003016148709101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2323922462382664346.post-58018472932537789192010-12-16T10:19:08.505-08:002010-12-16T10:19:08.505-08:00Yes, it is *very* common to drink and dial and I d...Yes, it is *very* common to drink and dial and I did more than my fair share of it. I used to call people I barely knew and I'm sure they wondered why I was calling. I was so lonely and felt very isolated and I guess it was my way of reaching out. I was never dramatic on the phone, in fact I went out of my way to try to act sober and coherent. Like all of you, I would wake up the next day in panic mode wondering who I called and what I said and going over and over the conversation regretting saying this or that. Then, I would be ashamed and feel such low self-esteem and so totally embarrassed. UGH - the whole thing was just ugly. I'm SO glad those days are over. I'm actually kind of "anti-phone" now and would much rather email!RChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10894064992467661134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2323922462382664346.post-80445131664531540192010-12-16T07:47:22.269-08:002010-12-16T07:47:22.269-08:00OH BOY, did I drunk dial, it was awful!!!! I used...OH BOY, did I drunk dial, it was awful!!!! I used to have to check my cell in the morning to see who I called, look at my email to see who I emailed, then check my text messages. UGH!! It was so much drama and so much work. Thank God I don't have to worry about that in the morning anymore. I wasted so much time with silly things. Now I can focus on the real important things in life, my sobriety, family, & friends. Being sober has given me that, and i don't feel so shameful anymore.<br /><br />But I was like you, I loved to sit outside and drink my vodka, by myself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
