As I have been trying to get clean and stay clean I thought it would be a good idea to revisit some unfortunate things that happened when I’ve been drinking so I have a list to think about next time I want to nail myself.  As you will see these things range from mildly annoying to very concerning.

• I overspent with internet shopping
• With the internet shopping I bought strange things I would likely never wear
• I posted strange things on social media
• I missed derby practice because I was too drunk to drive (and skate, obviously)
• I had broken sleep
• I cut and burned myself while cooking drunk
• Pea went out once when I had been drinking and returned to find me unconscious at the bottom of the back steps. We don’t know if I fell and hit my head or what.
• I withdrew from my savings account to pay for all the alcohol I was drinking
• I missed out of family events because I was passed out drunk
• I couldn’t enjoy other family events because I was hungover
• I threw up in the bedroom
• Throwing up on myself. Vomit laundry is no fun
• I blacked out and couldn’t remember the night before
• I missed work due to broken sleep from drinking
• I gained weight
• I was more likely to crave and eat junk food when drunk (see weight gain above)
• I also ate badly when hungover
• A blood test revealed abnormalities in my liver enzymes

These are just some things for me to think about, and hopefully I can do better.
