What is the worse thing you did while drinking
I tore up a bathroom at a tire place. I put toilet paper all over the floor,destroyed the plants, plugged sink up and ran water. About an hr later the company called to ask what they could have done to offend me. Of course I lied and acted mad that they were accusing me of such actions. Called husband crying about how they accused me. He called corporate to complain and we ended up with 5 free visits to the the company in question.
Fast forward. 3 months into sobriety. I made a comment I needed to get work done on car. He laughed and said " well hopefully they won't accuse you of destroying their bathroom.
Now we all know after being sober for a bit we feel we have to tell on ourselves . So I did. First time I heard hubby curse in years.It was a very long night for me .
I have to amends to this company don't I?
I carried on an affair with a married woman for years. She was also an alcoholic, and we were bedroom/barroom buddies. If there's one thing I wish I could turn the clock back on, that would be it. I wish I could go back in time, and NOT do it all over again. It was despicable behavior.

Gotta love all those bad memories!! I guess, remembering them keeps us from that first drink. The depravity is astonishing.
DUI, horrible work ethic, horrible parenting ethic, passing out all over the place!!
It's a tie!!
Life is sooooooooooo much better today!!
Sometimes, it's good to go back there in my head!! Don't stay there though.......
I was hooking up with my partner's best friend while wasted and he walked right in on it.
Tied with that:
We got invited for thanksgiving at someones house and I got so wasted I smashed her potted plants, broke glass in the house and her dogs were walking over it and then passed out in her bed.

Well there was another thing bad I did. Took some medication from an elderly person. They needed it bad. Because it was a controlled medication person had to wait 2 weeks for a refill. They were in so much pain and begged me to help find it.
Nice person I am huh?
Took my first drink of alcohol at 10 years old,the OLd bottle of Christmas Creme de menthe that I would fill with water what I drank got busted quick but was off to the races for the next 25 or more years........Blessings of this day folks.......

Well, let me see now: My first wife abandoned me after 20+ years of marriage -not that I blame her. The circumstances were less than desirable if not worse. Then, my oldest daughter of 25 years cut me out of her life entirely -even on holidays. Boy did that hurt. And if that wasn't bad enough; I almost died (twice) all before my 40th birthday. Can it get any worse than that?

Long term: stayed in a loveless relationship for three years and remained drunk enough to tolerate it. I wasted her time and mine.
Short term: I once woke up at 6am and peed on a stack of my books. I was a real class act. -A

Hard to choose...none of it was acceptable and most of it was over the top. Thank God for an HP who abided with me during all of that stuff...Thank AA for the 9th step and a sponsor(s) to guide me and re-guide me over the journey. I ain't choosing and I'm now not trying to remember. ((((hugs))))
Wow! What a question!! Hahaha... Hmmm. I can't pick out a particular example that 'tops them all'. I didn't vomit on myself, didn't pee myself or any of that... That was almost worse. See, I always found a way home, took off my makeup and showered- no matter that I couldn't stand up while doing so. These things kept me thinking for far too long that I was ok, and functioning. I was not. Worse thing I did? Not counting all the crazy teenage crap (was pretty much a daily drinker at 12, and stealing was a way of life back then). How about living a soul-less existence , treating everybody in my life as though they were expendable , not caring a bit about other people outside of how they could feed my ego or serve some purpose... Treating myself as though I were expendable, not having any respect for my own life and the gift my HP gave me...and being a generally selfish, miserable, angry bitch who never got over the teenage angst phase. I would say taking for granted the gift of life by keeping suicide as an ever present 'easy out'. Cursing God for making me wake up to hell everyday. Who knew I could find the way to walk out of that hell so easily? I would say just the manner in which I treated others, and my utter lack of respect for life is the worst thing I've done. Oh, yes, and stealing from my Grandmother - who was the only person in my family who wasn't abusive- on a regular basis. That still eats at me on occasion, 20 years after her death.
HAha these are too funny, A girl took me back to her dorm , I sat down , she put down a bottle of jack and said help yourself, I became more interested in the Jack then her and I drank till I passed out and peed myself.
The next day I woke up 5 hours late for work she drove me to work quickly and later she texted me you owe me a bottle of jack and what did you do to my chair.
