Communication
Not alcohol...is the key.
Don't drink and drive (ahem). But certainly don't drink and text. Or call. I made that mistake and paid for it with a shame that ate at me all weekend. You have visions of yourself acting with dignity. Not standing at the Charing Cross intersection outside a pub with tears streaming down your face shouting down the phone about a concept called love.

LOL...I can't believe I just read the same thing on Nats blog and then I found this post on http://theaustralianindex.com/ and when I clicked lo and behold it is one of her gf ~grin~
*BIG HUG*
Sometimes the loss of dignity let's us bare our soul and understand a little better. Even if it doesn't feel like that right now. There is always a reason we do these things. Just because alchol was involved doesn't mean it was not justified.
