Don’t dox yourself btw. It’s the storytellers prerogative to take a bit of creative license.
Not mine. I saw it on reddit. Goes something like this:
A guy had his 21st birthday. His parents were invited (why?!?!).
He got so maggot drunk that he ended up wastedly having sex, with a blow up sex doll, completely naked on the loungeroom floor, right in front of his parents feet.
I can only imagine the horror.
Well…
My best drinking story is one told to me by my parents, because I don’t even remember it. See, it was actually my birthday party in which I got very drunk. Also, I was 2
So apparently these old boomers thought “Oh it’s only one tiny sip, she’ll be fine. doesn’t matter that she’s 2”, but they all had that same idea, and after a few “one tiny sips” I was one tiny drink toddler. Thanks mom and dad. Probably didn’t help my brain develop very well :/
Anyway, that’s the best drinking story I have because I don’t drink. Not even because of this; I just don’t much care for the taste or the feeling, so yeah
whenever I visit my parents there’s a photo on the fridge of when I was the toddler at an open bar wedding.
Just a lil guy all dressed up and reaching into the wine cooler 🥲
I’ve been told after the photo was taken I was stopped.
There’s a family video where I’m like 3, I get myself a wine glass and go to the wine and a cousin helps me pour myself a small wine. It’s very clear on the video that this wasnt the first time.
Emphasis on been told. There a few in the family that have given differing accounts.
In my case it was the discovery of a leaking wine cask on top of the fridge
My best drinking story is that I had my last drink 14 years ago. ‘Nuf said.
26 years here and happy about my life. Unhappy about the worn bits and pieces but happy overall and wouldn’t trade it for anything else.
Happy to meet a fellow in recovery
Feeling you on the worn bits but my morning coffee sober is what it’s all about. Congrats on 26!
Well done both. 1,5 year here. Not addicted but wanted my now 1,5 year old to never have a dad to hungover to do stuff or have even the slightest change of personality because of drink.
Well done, you have one lucky child who will have a great life because of you. It won’t be perfect, there are other factors in life but the fact you made that decision means they are better positioned than most.
When I started my recovery I met so many old timers with years of addiction and treatment specialist with years of experience who taught me that the biggest thing society should teach about addictions is that everyone should do their best to not even start. It’s far easier to discourage someone from starting an addiction than it is to treat someone with 20 years of living with an addiction.
Keep up everything you do, your children will be happier for it. I’m happy for you.
At first I was about to scroll to the next topic because this doesn’t apply to me, I’ve never drank in my life. But then I thought, “Hey I could live vicariously through you guys for a minute on this typical socially-bereft lonely Saturday night. I shall read these stories.”
