Drunk words are not always sober thoughts

r/

I was a massive alcoholic in college and I would drink about four times a week and be around a lot of of heavy drinkers. I was a manic depressive alcoholic where some nights I felt like the happiest person in the world and other nights I became viciously mean even if just had an A on a test. My mother is the same way and I think it’s genetic. But I said a thousand things I did not mean. I would say the craziest insults to people like how I’m gonna sue them for emotional damage (this was blackout mean mes favorite thing to say) and the next morning I would wake up thinking what the fuck. But no, me and a lot of my friends did not mean a lot of stuff that came out of our drunken mouths

    I get super friendly when I drink and I definitely say shit I don’t mean even if it’s nice words like, “Yeah, we should visit more often!”.

    Agreed.

    But I’m a happy drunk.

    So I’m constantly agreeing to hangouts that sober me isn’t interested in. Or flirting with people sober me wouldn’t flirt with.
    Also drunk me might not articulate a certain joke to perfection and maybe it comes across in a way it isn’t intended.

    I am pretty cynical, not smiling much but a bit jokey here and there when sober but the times I am drunk, I become philosophical, hella kind and funny. In the company of people I don’t like, I’ve never said a thing to hurt them, I just didn’t talk to them

    Sober thoughts aren’t always conscious thought.

    I am either way too horny or way too sad to be approachable by normal humans when I drink.

    These days I just get high in the corner like some kind of weed genie

    I talk so much shit when I drink and then I don’t remember half of it. Most of it is stuff I really don’t mean, and really don’t even care about. I’ve had vicious fights over ridiculous stuff. Yeah, the old sayings about “truth is spoken by drunks and children” only means that they don’t have a filter, it all comes out, no matter what it is. Doesn’t necessarily make any of it true. Am I supposed to believe a kid when he says his uncle is literally a real dinosaur? Like, literally. A T-Rex or something.

    I get super flirty with everyone when I’m drunk something I barely so sober.

    The words were still a product of your thoughts.

    Sometimes its not even words. When i was using opiates id struggle holding off a nod taking every fiber of my being to text and the next morning when i woke up i sent something like “x9snna rhe dihly sssseel”

    I saw a girl at a party once who was so drunk she couldn’t stand, was falling all over, super slurred speech. She said some stupid things, but she was also very out of it and honestly I just hope that she was safe. I’m not going to hold the words of someone who clearly was not thinking straight. If we really need to, we can chat when you’re sober. But that doesn’t mean I’ll condone drinking to that point or forgive doing actual heinous things under the influence.

    no but they are truth. sobriety and the realisation of what the behaviour might cost you makes you want to walk it back.

    Drinking four times a week?
    You were NOT a massive alcoholic, you were binge drinker.

    There’s a huge difference.

    I don’t drink at all anymore but when I did I was a massive liar. I would make up wild stories and then have to try to undo the chaos I created while I was drunk when I sobered up. DEFINITELY not sober thoughts.

    Yup I generally am a happy person content with my life. But drunk me hyper focuses on everything that I don’t like about my life and suddenly those are the biggest deals in the world. But that’s not normally me.

    I get very depressed when drunnk.

    I say random bullshit I don’t mean when drunk. Straight up tell lies and imaginary things. Like I may say I’m from a different country or from different ethnic backround, my occupation and hobbies lol. Some fever dream kind of things.
