Alcohol worries

Unread post by dpaddict12 »

Hello!

Okay so I feel like I've really learned a lesson now, and it's scary to me. But there have been two occasions in the last few weeks where I have been drinking and out with another guy (two different people). I started to realize that when I recall the evening, I have difficulty remembering some parts. It's really scary to me, because I know someone could have taken advantage of me or I could have done something really stupid. What is the recommended plan of action when something like this happens? I feel really awful for letting it happen, let alone twice.

I'd say it's just taking this awareness you have about this and making different choices moving forward. :)
