Did you do something different with your Hair??????????? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
I was kind of laughing cause I thought I would start a post on Stupid Things I did, after I got Sober. That would be a humbling list, I think I'll just keep off the Board today, Nothing Illegal, but definitely falls into the catagory of "Not real smart". I had a Relationship at 3 years of Sobriety, that was the all time Relationship from HELL.
I didn't go out to drink, as I was anxiety-ridden and paranoid as hell. But the one time I drank outside of my own home, was my sister's wedding. Thankfully, I remained sober during the ceremony, but at the open-bar reception:
I flirted and pinched the butt of my cousin's boyfriend and offered him sex (he was 14, I was 24) Yuck!
I remember flirting with my own cousin. Double yuck.
I knocked my sister, in her gorgeous wedding dress, flat on her butt, as I missed when I was leaning in to hug her good-bye. She twisted her ankle and spent her wedding night with a bag of ice on her foot.
I sneaked alcoholic drinks for my underage cousins. Dumb, dumb, dumb. My aunts could barely speak to me after that, when I got my cousins drunk.
And one time, not my sister's wedding, I fell off the kitchen table (don't ask) and sprained my foot. Use your imagination on that one. Pretty embarrassing explaining to my coworkers why I had to miss a few days of work.
I drove home blitzed; got in the parking lot of my apartment and parked; then I realized I could get busted for drinking and driving and ended up driving back to where I came from 'before getting caught'! Now how stupid is that???
