Did I...?
Permalink  
 

So I'm out walking around today, running errands and enjoying the perfect weather. As I'm walking down the road, I run into a gentleman who frequents one of my old regular bars. We chit chat for a minute before he asks "so, are you still a yoga instructor?". WHAT?!? Did I really tell this dude I was a yoga instructor?? I am not, not have I ever been, not have I ever made any steps towards becoming a yoga instructor. It was one of those lies I used to shroud myself in to appear cooler and more put-together than I was ( or am). I'm very grateful to not be living in lies any longer! I gracefully skirted the issue by laughing and saying, simply "nope- I'm a waitress. How about you? What have you been up to?". I couldn't help but feel a tinge of shame while laughing at my former self as I walked away. Really- a yoga instructor? Hahaha. Glad to be sober:)

I remember telling my husband that I seen ghosts. I even gave them names. I can't believe some of the things I lied about. To make matters worse I actually believed them myself.cry

My most common drunk lie was: "I've just had two beers!" Meanwhile I would be slurring and fighting to keep my head up. Guess I had reeeeally low tolerance.

If I was half as good as I said I was, then I'd be pretty bloody good.

I've never been a yoga instructor though.

Hey Frodo, ... If I really tried Yoga, ... they would have to call the paramedics to untangle me before I could ever walk again ... LOL

Lying under the influence!!
Blacking out under the influence!!

So many things came out of my mouth while drunk, it'd be hard to write 'em out!!
I remember being very important while drunk a few times!!

Thanks for the share.......yoga!!
