the really nice lady that i talked to at my school on wednesday is gonna pick me up to take me to AA.
i woner if i should tell her about last night.
last night i wasnt planning on drinking i didnt even bring money with me but then i was at the club with my fraternity siblings..and the first thing that caught my eye was the sign that said "ladies night, ladies drink free all night" and then i was in the front asking for my usually drink combo...vodka and coke and by the time i got to the back where everyone was, my drink was done and then i reasoned with myself that ill drink a beer, its light..i wont get drunk...three beers later (mind u theyre in large plastic cups) ..wobbly and all ..i told myself that if i had one more id pass out or throw up...so i danced sat went outside..away from the bar.
i mean like i do have control...i stopped..and didnt continue drinking hard.
since it wasnt bad or anything like i wasnt hungover this morning..i didnt throw up..basically poison myself ..it shows that i have control....
ill look bad if i tell her the night before shes gonna take me to AA i get wasted.

Whether or not you tell the lady who is picking you up for the AA meeting about what you did last night is up to you. I can tell you however that one of the main principles of AA is "To Thy Own Self Be True" I think you may want to think about being honest with yourself first.
is this lady in AA too??? If so, you mighty as well tell her, you should tell everyone at the meeting, thats what they are there, right? to help you regain sibrority. Sp???
Your back at day one, cheating by saying you kept your control does not count.....
Good Luck!
She's in AA too...shes been sober for 10 years....her story is very inspiring....ill tell her...like she wont be mad at me..she'll just wanna help.
u know what i tell myself to not feel bad about getting wasted.....i tell myself...well i dont do this everyday...
And isn't the whole point of it all is to NOT DRINK AT ALL, EVER AGAIN?

L-Lying
You were lying to yourself. Get better...you deserve it. (hugs)
In my experience (since I am a recovering alcoholic who started off innocently) it is best just to tell the truth.
You see alcohol will try and get you to lie and hide the truth. Sure you may not have a full problem right now but hiding the truth is a red flag that alcohol is trying to control your life. Remember that. If you feel have to hide or lie about your alcohol intake/behavior to anyone I would expose those thoughts right away. Don't hide it just fuels addiction. It sounds like you have a chance here to break a cycle.
Merry ..I do lie about my alcohol intake when my mom asked if I drank last I told her that I had one beer cuz I don't want her to to lock me down ...she doesn't trust my decisions sometimes cuz I get impulsive
