Embarrassed myself

[Newnamenewopenme]

I made a fool of my self at a family party a few weeks back. My Auntie invited me over for a garden breakfast this morning but I’ve since found out my cousins (from a different aunt) are coming too - they are the ones I was embarrassing in front of. I was a loud know it all (not normally like that but had stopped drinking for 6 months before so was out of practice)

Is it acceptable to cancel? I have anxiety issues as it is and this is making me feel hot and sick!

Great update! Glad you have been reassured.

See, you did good in pushing yourself and going! But just in general so you dont feel that bad again consider cooling off the drinking for your own well being.

We’ve all been there OP but you can’t hide away from these people forever. They already know you were acting out of character because you’d had one too many, but you could reiterate that fact again by apologising for being a drunken pain in the arse when you see them. I’m sure they’ll just laugh it off and everything will be fine.

@JackPaul it was the first time I had a drink in 6 months.... I had a can of cider and 3 glasses of wine over about 4 hours, I don’t think I really need to cool off. If anything I should increase it so I’m not out of practise!
