I’m sure the title of this thread had your curiosity when you read it. Equally, the effects of alcohol during this time of healing (for me) has me equally curious.

 

I believe it safe to say that somewhere, sometime, in all of our lives and thru past breakups, we have fallen to the shallows of a drunk dial. Oh yes, come on now, admit it. :o

 

However, this time, this special person who had a hold of me and this heart, who left abruptly, who communicated one day and then was gone the next, who refuses contact, explanation or even a good bye, has an all different touch on me than anyone else!

 

Why is it when I drink alcohol and start to think thru our past, our breakup, my feelings, who I am, who she was to me and probably really is to herself, do I start to smile, laugh aloud -- almost, become amused and even sensibly stable. In reverse, I find the sober times the most emotionally provoking, heart wrenching and every minute and second of the day so difficult.

 

It is the strangest thing.

 

If it were not for the health effects of excessive alcohol, remaining intoxicated would be the perfect form of NC. And I would have the handsome smile on this face you can imagine!!

 

Lord help me….LOL!!

Depends...what is beeping?

 

Fancy Feast: Rum? Heii I'll go for anything to get that smile on my face.

 

I don't think I have been drunk since I was in my early 20s.

 

Does drunk beeping an Ex count?

I try not to drink in these times, because If I do I get way too many emotions that I can't control. I haven't drunked dial her (yet) (will try not to), but I will call family members for support and I sound like a complete mess.

 

My ex doesn't drink, but I am hoping she drinks and drunk dials me lol...just so I know she is thinking about me. I know I'm pathetic.

 

Rum may be good for you, but Bourbon is not good for me!

I know drinking is NOT the answer. BUT, I have partaken in boozing (I never used to drink) because honestly some nights are unbearable. I may have a couple drinks 2-3 nights a week, and I've started to look forward to those nights as an escape. I am not an emotional drunk---I am waaaaaay more cheerful, like nothing matters. I don't take antidepressants or do drugs, so alcohol has helped me a bit. And no, I'm not an alcoholic, yet. ;)

I haven't dared to drink since my breakup, but I'm not much of a drinker anyway. My ex, however, did like to drink and I am actually insulted that he has not drunk dialed or texted me (even my mom pointed this out, and she is in her 60s and I am not a kid either).

The only alcohol I have had has been with female friends who were gathered for the sole purpose of moving my mind to a better place, so it was definitely a positive experience that didn't lead to drunk dialing.

 

I only have problems with creative butt dialing :p
