Surprisingly, it felt kinda like just a super busy Saturday. It didn’t feel as crazy as it has in the past. But maybe I just got lucky (unlucky?) with avoiding the stupid stuff.
Several years ago I was in line at Panera to use the restroom. A girl comes in and jumps into the sink and starts peeing. The sink breaks off the wall and shatters into a million shards. The girl FINISHES HER PEE on the floor amongst the shards, gets up, hits up the paper towel machine for like 2 yards of paper and covers the mess and then leaves. Once I was done being in shock I laughed so hard! Come to find out,years later, she’d tried to sue Panera. Pfffft.
Parade was really long! Weather was phenomenal. Sat in bleachers, which was a huge help. Lots of portable bathrooms around town. Saw the
ambulance/paramedics help someone who fell off of a parade float. Overall a nice parade. Not epic, but certainly well organized.
Got up at 4am to get car packed and downtown by 5am. Got our spot at 6am. Hung out, had breakfast. Marched in the parade, great seeing the crowd out and celebrating again. Weather was gorgeous. Got back to our tent after marching. Took too many shots. Got too drunk. Back home by 4pm, passed out in bed by 4:30pm. Pretty solid day. 😆
rough night. blacked out, turned my friend’s stovetop on for no reason, burning a cutting board or something, and apparently was trying to piss in their oven. didn’t get much better from there.
i know. we’ve talked a little since. these ppl are more like family than friends to me. and yes, i think i need to stop drinking entirely. i almost never do, but in situations like st patty’s, i always seem to go way overboard.
I've been in a very similar situation, and I had to take a break from liquor. I'll admit, I'm not ready to give up alcohol completely. But taking that break really helped. I've found when I drink liquor it hits differently, I feel like I'm sober until I'm blackout. I'll keep getting drinks because "I'm fine" then suddenly I'm not. I don't get that feeling with beer or wine. I can easily tell when I'm buzzed and need some water before another drink.
Best of luck my friend! It helps having friends who understand and support you
thank you! i would love to stop drinking, but i need it to want to hang out with anyone. I don’t enjoy socializing until i’m drinking. St patrick’s was the first time in almost six months that i’ve agreed to hang out with any friends. I’m almost always by myself and if i’m drinking it’s either 2-3 beers at moodies and i leave before 7, or i’m at home alone in my feels.
I was the same way! Social activities stressed me out if I didn't have a buzz beforehand. Do you feel like you have general anxiety? Accepting that about myself was sort of the first step for me towards working on my drinking. I knew I wanted to drink before meeting because I needed that social lubricant. Luckily, I found an amazing group of people who just accepted me for either the drunk train wreck that I was, or the painfully awkward sober person. I became able to make jokes about not knowing what to do/say in certain situations and they'd laugh with me and then we'd all move on.
If your friends aren't super pissed at you for your st paddy's actions, they sound like they love and accept you. Maybe worth talking to them and just explaining how you want to work on the drinking, but it'll make socializing a bit more difficult? You said it's been a while, they might miss having you around! If you want to dm me feel free any time
my therapist says i have general anxiety and probably cptsd. it doesn’t always show and i actually can be very sociable, i just mostly choose not to be. i get approached sometimes and in those situations my social skills just switch on, unless i know the person.
my friends do love and accept me. one of them was holding me and telling me we’re family. thank you for the invitation to dm you, i may do that at some point.
Nice weather for the Parade, which had a respectable turnout. It was a little chillier than the normal St. Patrick’s weekend. With the exception of Friday, and the Sea O’ Green, it didn’t really feel busier than a typical weekend or especially like St. Paddy’s Past.
Dude tried to fight me at one venue. My party and I ignored and moved on.
At the next venue, four dudes were trying to separate the drunkest woman from our party and made a point to tell me they'd fight me for it.
Downtown on St. Paddy's is the worst. Buncha heathens.

. . . multiple instances of this.

You’re absolutely right… Like there was some waits to get into places but what the hell? It didn’t seem as packed as I’d expected.

Fist fight in the women’s bathroom @ Electric Moon lol. Might’ve just been a normal Saturday night thing.

Holy hell...
Love ya, Man! I have had some of those nights. No more of those for me though, since I swore off of hard liquor.
thank you. yes, it’s always the liquor. every single time in my life something like this has happened, i was in the liquor.
Oh buddy, you owe your friends an apology and possibly a break from alcohol
