Mollyanna Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 I am in a fantastic relationship, crazy about this guy and I know he is crazy about me. So why do I want to f*ck it all up and call my ex when I am half drunk? I did that tonight. And I do not understand it. I have nothing to say to him. I know he is not what I want and especially not what I need, but why did I call him?
2ndIINone Posted March 23, 2007 Posted March 23, 2007 true feelings always come out when you're drunk. Period. I've been pushing for a cellphone-breathalizer for years, but can't seem to get Verizon to back me up on it.

Well all give her our cellphones when we are drinking and we are not allowed to drunk dial lol. For our own good. If you dont mind me asking how what the story is with your ex?

Think of it as "residual feelings".... takes time to let go 100%, but come on, DS..... compare where you are now to last year...... You've come a long way, baby. -tp got a light? *ducks* :) xoxo

bridget_jones Posted March 24, 2007 Posted March 24, 2007 so what is to stop me from callling on the way home? lol I hope you mean from the taxi cab or public transportation mode of choice or the car of friendly designated driver! Unless the bar's within walking distance. How did the conversation go?
alphamale Posted March 24, 2007 Posted March 24, 2007 its ok MOLLYANNA....Prez Nixon (aka "Tricky Dick") was a known drunk dialer also.
dropdeadlegs Posted March 24, 2007 Posted March 24, 2007 My name is dropdeadlegs and I am a drunk dialer. Something about alcohol makes me "conversational." I have so much to say that needs to be heard! I don't tend to call an ex that I know logically is wrong for me, but if I thought he was "the one", and intend to prove tat to him, I have been known to do so. Worse yet, I'm a professed drunk "doorstepper." Yep, I'll show up. At 2:30am. That's really bad. I like to believe I've grown past that, but past history speaks volumes for the future. If it makes any difference (and I don't think it does) I'm fully drunk when I do these things.
dropdeadlegs Posted March 24, 2007 Posted March 24, 2007 you're my kinda woman DDL If you are referring to the drunken doorstopping, I admit that I haven't had many complaints. We both know what that entailed! It was totally no strings attached. Only my heartstrings and those don't count in these cases.
loveratud Posted March 24, 2007 Posted March 24, 2007 I just stopped drinking after the breakup for fear of calling her. Nearly 3 months sober. And I'm college. In a fraternity.
Guest Posted March 24, 2007 Posted March 24, 2007 Mollyanna, You mentioned that you are in a terrific relationship right now and that this particular person is so much better than your ex. I truly believe that the reason why you did this is because subconsciously you feel as if, if this new, much better person loves you than why didn't that person who wasn't as good as him? I think that it is definitely a pride thing, not so much as you want what's not good for you. On Dr. Phil, he mentions two things: The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior, meaning whether he were with you again or someone else he will probably have the same issues. Dr. Phil also mentions that when people get back together after one person has hurt the other person drastically, eventually the hurt one will feel angry toward the person, that they wanted back so much, and things will never be the same. Hang on to what you have now. I'll bet that he's a great guy!
Author Mollyanna Posted March 24, 2007 Author Posted March 24, 2007 I haven't done that much. But when I do something, I do it right! For a good laugh and to see how far I have come.. see: OmG what have I done? psycho me http://www.loveshack.org/forums/t96156/ As for my conversation with him Thursday, he didn't answer. He called me back yesterday and I didn't answer. I then called him back today and he didn't answer. LOL this is a lot of fun.
The Confused Guy Posted March 24, 2007 Posted March 24, 2007 ^ I do drunk-dialling too, i have no idea why i do (even at the time i dial their number) but i still do it anyway. End up calling the most inappropriate people, at stupid times in the morning, and often say the stupidist things imaginable. But its oh so much fun at the time.
dropdeadlegs Posted March 25, 2007 Posted March 25, 2007 have some self-control people....Jesus Christ! You're right, self control is a far better option. We just don't always have it, like you do.

Now gimme the keys. And the cellphone.
Touche Posted March 25, 2007 Posted March 25, 2007 I just stopped drinking after the breakup for fear of calling her. Nearly 3 months sober. And I'm college. In a fraternity. Wow...just had to say how impressed I am with you. Wished I had such self-control at your age. You are going to experience much less misery than most of us.
RichC Posted March 25, 2007 Posted March 25, 2007 Nothing good really comes out of being drunk. Problems you had will not go away and may get worse. At least know your limits and stick to them. Last time I was drunk was 1981 after a flight deck fire on my ship killed 16 and wounded 46. Too much booze does you no good.

What do you want from life? a life like right now and before? or new life full of wonders and dreams

RichC Posted March 25, 2007 Posted March 25, 2007 I can only go by what I have seen and done, both in the Navy and as a firefighter. Please try to get a handle on it because the downside can be very, very bad. Maybe I have a control streak, but, why be out of control when you can be in control?
