Embarrassing job interview

I had a job interview the other day and drank beforehand. I really must have went overboard because I don't even remember all of the questions and events that took place in the interview. It was a group interview (about 8 people in the room.) I really feel like I could have got this job if I was sober. I am really regretting this. I drank to ease my nerves, but when I drink, I drink too much. I should have went in there as my shy quiet self, and then I wouldn't have felt like a fool at least. I don't think I got the job. I don't know if it was obvious or not, but I think so. I think I might have sounded like I slurred. This really goes to show that drinking may not always be the answer. At some points in my life, drinking a bit has helped, but now I have come to rely on it so much, that I have pushed it to a not so pleasant point. I just feel really embarrassed about the situation and have decided to stop drinking.

I had an interview the other day for a postion I wanted. I had so much anxiety I had only one word answers to their questions I was so tense and shy I could not talk. I sucked big time. Of course I never got the job ......

Yeah I would think drinking would not be the best solution and it is pretty easy to spot someone who has been drinking by just looking at their blush face or their actions. Next time just be yourself, I think everyone is nervous during interviews so it isn't like you will be the only one nervous.

Congratulations on the decision to stop drinking Moonie. Alcahole dependence can destroy your life and have a big impact on those around you, good on you for recognising that you may have a problem early on.
