Why do people think they are amusing when they are drunk? It’s been my week for drunks, I guess. A girlfriend has showed up at my house twice, more drunk than hurricane weather sucking water from outside a booze factory. It hasn’t been amusing; it’s been very difficult to deal with her. Especially since the second time was for an appointment to do my nails. “Do you trust me, Arreana?” “Trust you for what?” “To do your nails.” “I trust that if you screw them up, you’re going to be doing them again.” She laughed, I was serious. It started out with laughter, went to maudlin, descended into tears and lots of stories about what’s happened in her life recently, and then I worked hard to get her back to laughter. I love her dearly but I didn’t sign up for the drunkenness. I understand that sometimes life sucks really bad…believe me, I understand that. But being drunk solves nothing…it only takes away the sting for a brief instant and when it comes back…it’s compounded by the hangover. It also costs you friendships and other relationships. Four drunk phone calls in three days from two people took me further along the line of not being amused. I’m not a drinker. I’ll have a glass of wine or a cold beer occasionally, but…as a diabetic I can’t drink much anyway. Alcohol converts directly to sugar in your bloodstream. I know the risks attendant with regular drinking and have always refused to drink with any kind of frequency because I don’t ever want to be that out of control of myself. And, cold as it may sound…I don’t want to deal with it in others. There are much more fun things to do…like peeling the skin off my face to see what lies under it. Feel the passion, walk in peace, live in love....Ari

I avoid drunks as much as possible. So it is not being cold that you are trying to do the same. There is nothing more irritating than having to deal with a drunk, and really, that is a life choice. You need to totally walk away from the friggen drunk that keeps calling you. Actions speak louder than words, and the words of a drunk are words of someone trying to make you feel guilt, for usually, no reason at all. Sounds to me as if you should have kept your last post up instead of deleting it. As for everything else..who knows what tomorrow holds. All I know is that yesterday opened my eyes. I've dealt with the first drunk...now onward and upward. It makes me sad because I feel as if I've hurt someone I care about...but making my feelings clear has become something I need to do. It's one of those lessons I learned from Jeff. Feel the passion, walk in peace, live in love....Ari

hello arre   first off sorry i was drunk dialing again was it you i was crying to?    did i say anything i`ll regret ?? ummm did we at least have fun ?dang i gotta quit dri.... ooops i mean i better unplug the phone whilst i`m celebrating life stages of drunk happy more happy sad crying then sleep passed out  "because I don’t ever want to be that out of control of myself." that's exactly why i stop drinking so much i will ,.. like u,.. have one or two with dinner or in company i`m happy to be around I didn't want to publicly state that I had calls from three drunks last night. Oh yeah...could be cause I called you? You might not regret what you said...I'm not sure the same could be said for me. lol... Was it your drunkenness that made you hang up on me? I don't think I've ever talked to you drunk. Drinking, yes...drunk, no. When everything happened last year, I wanted to drink myself into a lifelong stupor. It was realizing that if I wanted to die that much, there are easier ways to do it...like going to my dentist and letting him overdose me again... And recognizing that my friends had enough to deal with me the way I was...without adding alcohol to the mix. All it was going to do...was hurt me more. I will occasionally drink enough to get giggly...but I don't need help with that. Primarily, I'll have a simply drink to relax and unwind with friends. Other than that...the alcohol sits in the cupboard and ages magnificently. Hope you had a fun night with your family. Feel the passion, walk in peace, live in love....Ari

I don't drink. I do not care for the taste of alcoholic beverages. I used to abuse alcohol when I was young but I never craved it. I used to drink to get high but I didn't care for the hangovers. HuzatKrazyLONG  -edMayne???

Cheers, Arre dear. It is just that you politely do a rude act - put the phone down; and if they call again, switch off the cell or take it off the hook; at worst, ban them (this last in India costs money). Hope no more drunk calls and callers. Have a great day. LIFE MAY NOT BE A BED OF ROSES, BUT NO ONE STOPPED US FROM PUTTING ROSES IN OUR BED  .
