I did a shitty thing

Guys, I did a shitty thing that I feel really bad about.

I went to a small gathering last saturday, expecting it to be a night of drinking and nothing else.
Not only did the people there smoke marihuana (I didn’t touch the stuff, I stayed strong), but the house was really unhygienic.

They offered me to spend the night, but between the low hygiene, the smell of marihuana, and their dogs constantly begging me for attention, I just wanted to go home.
The guy who’d promised to drive me meant he was fine to drive because his last drink was almost an hour ago.

I would normally never, NEVER get in the car with someone who’ve had as much as a single beer, but I was desperate to get home, and the ride wasn’t long. So I did.

Luckily, nothing happened. But I feel really guilty and shitty. Today is the first time I’ve told anyone, I haven’t even told my best friend for fear that he’ll judge me.

I feel like I deserve to be scolded and told how stupid I was, mostly because then it wouldn’t just be coming from myself.
But at the same time, part of me wants someone to tell me I’m not a complete retard and that they’d do the same.

I don’t know why I’m even sharing this, tbh.
Please let me know how dumb I am for driving with someone who clearly wasn’t sober :cry:
I deserve it

It sounds like you have beaten yourself up enough about this. You can’t change the past. All you can do it make smarter choices in the future.

I wish I could say I was smarter…but me and my friends did a lot of stupid ■■■■ when we were just of age…

lots of times people have a couple drinks and think there ok to drive, but it’s too be avoided. and as we aged we all wised up. you got away with it

anyways lesson learned and doesn’t sound like you’ll be doing it again. things happen its fortunate you made it home safe

When I was in college I rode in a car with ppl who were clearly drunk. We all do stupid things.

Don’t beat yourself up about it.

When anyone else drives you give yourself up into their responsibility, sober or straight. you give up your life to another. Some poeple drunk are better drivers than those who are sober, so don’t worry about it.

You made it home in one piece, what has past has past. Let it go, it doesn’t matter. Future life choices are yours to make. The past, well it is the past. Learn from it. :slight_smile:

I don’t understand why this has been flagged. I advised the same as everyone else. don’t fret about it.

I don’t see anything wrong with what you did…you weren’t comfortable and like you said, it was a short ride…you did the right thing.

It was a bad choice but it’s just an incident in your life. Just don’t do it again.

Well, look on the bright side of the whole thing. At least we all learned that we can use the word “shitty” without getting censored. There’s a silver lining in every cloud.
