it’s an objective fact that alcohol impairment lowers your inhibition and impulse control is weakened due to the prefrontal cortex and glutamate being disrupted. especially to the point of blackout. people will piss on themselves, spend loads of money, and confess things that aren’t true while being impaired. an explanation is not a justification and get over your dogmatism. being nasty about it won’t change it. this isn’t your fight.
i promise nothing you’re saying makes it better or worse. if it’s what makes you feel good to say then by all means but obviously it’s fucked up. the difference between us is i don’t push myself into a deeper hole over things i can’t change. i fucked up, i reflect, i make a decision, i move on. that’s it.
the alternative is shutting up and taking it which i won’t do. just like you have the ability to say what you want about my situation, i would beg to say i have two cents to give on my life. like i said, it’s not a defense. it’s an explanation. the reasoning doesn’t make the situation okay but what else would you like me to do? what will YOU do? it’s said and done, happened over a month ago, i’m here now. what is degrading myself going to do if i already made the choice to do better?
it doesn’t come from guilt because believe it or not, people who make terrible mistakes have the ability to do soul searching, forgive, and rearrange their lives. you don’t want me to be better. you want me to suffer. that’s something i simply will not do no matter how badly you want it for gratification. you can’t say to repent when part of repentance is grace and forgiveness.
