The last time getting drunk

The reason I do not drink anymore is mainly because I only drank when I felt depressed, sad, stressed or anxious and I realised what a bad habit it was. I only associated drinking with bad things rather than good things and I thought it was enough.

I started messaging this girl on Instagram (cc29397) and we started chatting about meeting up. This girl went to my university but was on the other campus. After a lot of chatting, we decided to meet up. She came over to my campus and brought a lot of alcohol. We decided to do a few shots at 1:00 pm. We then went out into town and went to a second-hand clothing shop where we bought a few pieces of clothing. This shop is now closed due to also selling drugs under the counter. I know this because I was offered some, and I politely declined. We popped into Morrisons, where I brought the apple sourz.

This girl then invited me back to her university accommodation, so I invited my boyfriend too because I started to get nervous. We went back to my accommodation and woke my boyfriend up for dinner and then I told him the plan of going to hers. We went to the canteen and picked some dinner. We bumped into some of my friends from the campus and she invited them all back too.

We ate some dinner and then got on the bus to go over to her accommodation. Just beforehand we had some predrinks where I swigged the apple sourz three times. My friend threw up on the bus as she had already started drinking and didn't eat anything. We arrived at her place and she needed help picking an outfit for the party afterwards (which I was not attending).

I decided to be very helpful and steal the bunny ears, to be honest, I felt I looked very cool. It was giving Playboy Bunny style. We then went in the kitchen and I felt so very awkward, so all I did was 10 shots in a row. My boyfriend told me it was time to stop drinking, I agreed, however, my friend wanted me to continue. I knew she was slightly drunk, so thought it would be best to listen to my boyfriend who was sober.

It was time to leave, I got to the bus stop, and I remember bumping into some friends, but not much after that. We had an hour's bus ride, however, I needed a wee so badly. We got back to the university and I did not want to go to bed yet. My boyfriend and I sat in the kitchen and he sobered me up with water, juice and mini cocktail sausages.

Since this event, I have not had an alcoholic drink, except a bit of prosecco. It is not something I will go back to personally. I might have a drink ever so often but it will be very rare.

Quote of the blog:

And this quote is why I stopped drinking because I did it when I was sad and anxious not because I was happy. It certainly makes drinking less fun when you are doing it to cover up a negative emotion.
