knaveman Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 Let me start off by saying that I know some of my posts don't make much sense some times, mostly because I get the need to type when I am drunk. I don't know why this is, it just is. This post however is not due to drinking, well not entirely. So, last Thursday I went out with my friend (a girl) whom I don't really care for too much. I only hang out with her because she is my friends girlfriend and she has no other friends here. One thing leads to another and we're both drunk and confrontational. Ends up with us yelling at one another and me telling her to f**k off. I was drunk and lost my temper and now we are not really friends anymore and I am not unhappy about that. The only thing I am worried about is that my friend (the guy) might not talk to me anymore or his girlfriend may leave him because of the fight. They were fighting when I left. The problems are this: I don't want to lose my friend (the guy) and I tend to do a lot of stupid sh*t when i drink. However I have noticed that I only do stupid sh*t when I am with these people, the rest of the time I am a pretty happy drunk and usually don't even get that drunk. Although I do tend to drunk e-mail as I am too chicken to drunk dial. Should I be too worried about all this or should I just chalk it up to alcohol doing something I couldn't do on my own?

You will learn as you get older that, however harmless and seemingly forgiveable being a drunken belligerent might seem to you, it can really screw up some relationships with people. I'm not saying don't drink, but don't think people are necessarily going to let you off the hook because you were drunk - that's not necessarily how it works out.
Geishawhelk Posted April 30, 2007 Posted April 30, 2007 Try not drinking for a while and tackling life sober. You might find you screw up less. or is that what scares you?
Author knaveman Posted May 2, 2007 Author Posted May 2, 2007 I have tried life sober and I didn't see the point. It's not like I am drunk all the time, just the weekends. The way I look at it is: I am single and have nothing better to do. When something better comes along then I will change my life accordingly. I thought about the fight some more and found I am not at all upset about not being friends with the girl anymore and if my friend doesn't want to be my friend because of all this then so be it.
Geishawhelk Posted May 2, 2007 Posted May 2, 2007 I have tried life sober and I didn't see the point. THis is probably one of the most tragic things I have ever read. If you really - but really - can't see the point of a sober life, then I think you need professional help. I really do. Of course, whether you think me right or not, is entirely up to you, it's your life. But look around you, and see others enjoying lives free of alcohol, and ask yourself whether you wouldn't like a glimpse of it....
Geishawhelk Posted May 3, 2007 Posted May 3, 2007 Good, I'm glad to hear it! That's ok then. But yer liver, fer one, will thank you, iif you just haul back a bit.... I say this with good feelings for you. Nothing mushy or anything. Just being nice. Sorry. I'll shaddup now.
LJ_Going_FlippinNuts Posted May 3, 2007 Posted May 3, 2007 It looks like you've already gotten some good advice! But I would like to say, I was the SAME way. I would be drunk having the best time and then, BAM, I would get all beligerant with people and carry on actin a fool. I thought they same thing, drinking gave me something to do until something better came around. Honestly its true, what else are you gonna do, sit at home and knit!?!!? Seriously though girl, take a real look at the people you hang with and your mood when you are with them. It may make a difference. What you are doing isn't a bad thing, just make sure you are doing your part to keep things from getting out of hand Good Luck!
Author knaveman Posted May 8, 2007 Author Posted May 8, 2007 it's definately male. Thanks for all the advice. My friend and I sort of made up but then I went and got all drunk and angry and pissed off another friend. I think alcohol and I and the pub shall go our seperate ways for a while. Besides, it's going to be nice BBQ weather soon and I need to build a deck.
