I went on a bender and told friends im related to an elderly dead singer from the 80s

[AdifferentGoat]

Simple as that. Not proud of my behaviour. I just exploded and while i certainly drank enough to out party the elderly white singer im allegedly related to... Am i being unreasonable to to flee the country as to escape the humuliation?

These arent the closest of friends but certainly a nice group of ladies. It's either i die or postshop photos of myself into some of his later days and hooe no one wonders why i haven't aged in 20 years ..Im shocked no one has clocked on the age difference.

Oh God. Back to sobriety

[quote Velvian]@AdifferentGoat I've got an arsey retired racing greyhound, that I'm sure is crossed with a mule. Any use to you?[/quote]
Let me deal with the family I am currently trying to fakely adopt out. It's a lot of work nursing 4 week puppies entirely by myself. However he sounds like the kind of candidate I would gladly taken in under my wings.

Let's go on it before I have to travel next week and sort out the Middle East dilemma.

See imaginary dogs are better than turning into a drunken dog saviour of dogs that didn’t need rescuing.

There is a reason why cask wine (aka goon) comes with its very own blow up pillow in the box. Because your drunk and need a nap.

Kenny Rogers apparently kept a pet goat, is it too late to change the dogs to goats?

Ha ha! I can relate, all of my friends think I am related to a famous singer from the 60s, because I told school friends when I was 16 (wanting attention, I suppose). I've had to keep my story straight for 35 years, as I have met new friends since, who have met my old friends etc. I keep hoping it'll fizzle out then someone brings it up. These days I'm just evasive. The singer is now dead so I suppose it can't be easily disproven (ie no-one can ask them). It's quite an awkward thing

I'm laughing my head off at this!

I've told many a fib on a night out, usually to strangers though.

My most common one that I was in the circus coz I'm double jointed....

dogs are currently running wild and free in my 10000 acre pasture overlooking the refugee camp I'm singleheadedly managing.

There are 4 hungry children who could do with your assistance op. And if you could fit in dealing with the crop in the field it'd be a great help
Seriously, we've all done it. Well I have anyway

Can I just say I am not taking this lightly nor making anyone think I am under playing the ramifications of my behaviour.

I am seeking understanding. As another poster mentioned I am while sober very honest but recently if I drink I turn into a woman with many tales.

I havent had issues with alcohol until I started facing issues in my own life. I have since my last thread undertaken advice that was given, I am seeing a therapist and a psychiatrist and have started to work independently and diligently so so that I create a better life for my baby and I.

I just lost the plot. Things were doing so well and I felt the need to self sabotage and in the midst of that I desperately longed to be admired. I see all these friends of mine doing so well and I wonder what's wrong with me?

But to better days. And if you cannot see the humour in dark days (even when self created) then what can you really do?

I just want to be the best mum I can be and have my daughter be proud of me. I don't have supportive family or any really around me. Im trying my best and I feel so bad I let myself down and most importantly my baby not to mention the fake dogs and God rest soul my fake relative

@Poudrenez

Do tell, even just initials, your ability to keep that one going is admirable

It's hard to make these posts without feeling you are out-ting yourself so forgive me if there are discrepancies but truly not to my intention to underplay anyone else who struggles with alcohol.

I just feel so disappointed. I was doing h so well. On advice of many kind posters here I got good help and have been working. Been trying to be positive.

I just lost the plot and to dear departed Kenny 😞

Sorry for being flippant OP

Sail away with me
To another world
We can just lie to each other
Uh uh
From one genre to another
Uh uh

OP jokes aside
I hope you're okay
I think a lot of people do this, if that's any consolation

@Bluesheep8

Sorry for being flippant OP

Thank you but i do not not take slight. I take full responsibility for myself. I remember a day where I was fun loving and confident. I lost all that. I'm trying hard to get to myself. I know it's not the alcohol. It's me. I'm struggling with feeling alone. Struggling with thinking all my friends seem to be doing so well and what's wrong with me? I was doing so well myself. Working. Taking care of my my child. Taking care of my mental health. And then just as I finally felt yes yes I can do this, I can be happy. Well I sabotage and I have no one to blame but myself.

Sorry for the morbid turn. I'm sure once Putin calls me for advice I'll feel grand again.

I once told a random stranger at a bus stop that Mike from Mike and the Mechanics was my godfather while on my way home from a big night out

God knows why

He wasn’t very impressed so drunk me told him I could do the splits (I can’t) and did he want to see. Fortunately I fell off my ridiculously high heeled shoes before I actually attempted it

You sound fun, I would like to go on a night out with you.

Whilst drunk, I once told some friends that my sister drives a milk float. She doesn’t, she actually works in a bank. I may have to steal your famous relation idea the next time I get drunk and feel the urge to lie. Famous people are cooler than milk floats

Easiest solution: never mention singer or dogs again, in person or on SM. If asked about either, look blank and have no idea. If pressed hard, comment that one of you must have had too much to drink!

OP I do get it.

I gave up drinking to get drunk (I still have the occasional drink but never more than one or two) because of the embarrassment I felt the next day.

I would just cringe for a week.

Sometimes I feel sad that I can't just let go and have fun but the fallout is too much.

to you

OP your self awareness and honesty is to be applauded. And finding humour in our struggles can actually be a strength

Picked a fine time to leave you, loose heel..

(I'll stop now, and OP you sound great. I'm sure you'll be good going forward.)

@pilates

It might be hard with my impressive schedule 😂😂😂 As I type I'm meditating on climate change.

I went on a bender and..

OP, I could have completed that sentence in so many embarrassing ways! One of the few benefits of getting old is that I literally couldn't drink that much any more. Some hilarious (as well as some awful!) memories, though.

Oh i would love to see this A few more of the girls messaged and said while they were disappointed, they understood. We may be arranging a vigil for my dearly departed fake relative.

I can honestly say I have never made up a story whilst drunk.

Loving the stories though, I'm off out tonight and this thread is making me think I might like to try some of the stories tonight
