Alcohol...the enemy of NC

Ah...poo-sticks.

Got good and hammered last night. Completely failed to pull, came home, thought about my ex and missed her all over again. Sent her a short, sweet email asking how she was...

A fool am I.

Now of course, every time I check my emails, my heart beats just that little bit faster (not too much, it has been 5 months!).

I wouldn't be at all surprised if she didn't reply. This does not stop the grey matter from thinking about what she might make of the mail after reading it...(Hell, I don't even know if her email's the same and this is all moot).

A lesson for me there. I may have my friends confiscate my laptop until such time as I have sufficiently sobered up.

Tsk. 5 months have passed and these little mistakes still surface.

been there.. done that my friend. Don't take it too bad on you. Now you know if next time you had this temptation to send her a short message you know that you won't like the feeling afterwards. You didn't do the best thing but it is not your fault. YOu like the girl you and you just haven't move on yet.

oh, drunk dialing (and drunk emailing) are par for the course when breaking up...

you can't look at it like you had a 'perfect' NC record and now it is for naught... you did a dumb drunk emailing thing which a lot of people do, but don't let YOUR breaking contact start to get your hopes up and start you checking your email etc. when sober. remember you are the one who sent the mail, and it has still been 5 months regardless, so she is either scratching her head right now wondering what is up, or else she recognizes it as a bit of drunken emailing and will just ignore it...

so no big deal, just recognize it as a mauldin, nostalgic drunken moment... it happens to everyone, so just pick yourself up and get on with your healing. it doesn't really change anything either way, especially if she doesn't respond.

well, she replied...

heh...with an incredibly brief and non-commital sentence that just screamed: 'Why are you mailing me? This is weird'.

I decided not to mail back to explain my drunken reasons for contacting her...

That, then, the official tiny epilogue to our relationship

IMO the only place you went wrong was the failure to pull one...

It's amazing that when we're able to pull, we go home happy!!

It's when we can't reel one that we start feeling all needy!!!

Do you have a good wing-man? Sometimes a wing-woman does even better!!

lol... "dont let friends drink and type"... dangerous...

i dont mean to laugh at what youve done andy... believe me, ive done it also... the e's, the phone calls, the talking to his sister... all when i was drunk... duh... what a dummy i was!...

ok... so i had to break this all down... i had to totally stop my behavior... stop contacting him that is... not stop drinking!... lol... thats going a little too far...

your not alone darling... not at all... join the group...

one of the things i had to realize is that when i wanted to contact him, in any way, it was for some kind of diaglogue with him, even though i would convince myself that is not why i was doing it... "i dont mind if he doesnt write back or call back... i just want him to know that i care how hes doing" when in truth i was hoping that he was on his deathbed... sigh... my reasons were always selfish and foolish and i would get hurt every time... he didnt want to hear from me, he didnt want to dialogue with me, he didnt want anything from me... i was a distant memory long ago forgotten... i had to hit myself over the head with a hammer to get that into my brain... once i realized that he didnt give a hoot and had moved on totally and completely, did i stop... everything...

i wish you luck darling... hugs and God bless... beebee

I totally agree! I am guilty of the same things on a few occasions a while. I woke up in the morning and said "oh crap" and laughed my guts out, because I knew she wouldn't respond or react. Don't know whether she scratched her head or tore her hair off. Who cares!

LMAO! Ha ha !

Mistakes my friend. We learn from them. Am sure you will be a little careful next time.

Once you are healed, get drunk and stalk her, for it really wouldn't matter

Hic! Hic! Hurray!
