I'm not sure that punishing yourself, as you mention at the end of your post, is the most productive use of your time and energy right now. Following all the good advice already given here would serve you well. It certainly seems clear that you and alcohol don't mix and need to call it quits. I'm torn about the underlying cause though. I do believe it was an attention-seeking ploy, but I have a couple differing thoughts about that. First, I've been involved with a Dominant in the past that was not available to me, and did not give me the time, attention, and care that I needed. Clearly, what I needed and what he needed were 2 different things, and we were not compatible. Needless to say I am no longer involved with him. We do need to be matched up with people whose needs and desires are compatible with ours. For me, that means being involved with someone who lavishes His time and attention and love on me, just as i in turn lavish mine upon Him. Find out what that means for you, and look honestly at whether or not your Dominant can meet that need. My second thought about the attention-seeking ploy though, is that if your Dominant was strong enough to be your man, you wouldn't have behaved that way. If you knew that you were his first priority, you wouldn't need to test those limits and boundaries, you'd be able to give him the time to converse with other people. If you knew that he would not tolerate such behavior, and that punishment would be swift and memorable, you would not need to test him. Maybe he still needs to prove his ability to Dominate you, as you are headstrong and willful. Master may ask things of me that i prefer not to do, or that take me out of my comfort zone, but i always know He has my best interest in mind, and often knows what's better for me than i do. He is able to be more objective about things than i often can be. And since my behavior reflects upon Him, i am very careful to obey, whether at home or in public. Yet this is not difficult for i would never want to displease or disobey Him. It seems if you had a Dominant for whom you felt the same way it would be easier for you to be obedient. Perhaps you are mis-matched with your current Dominant. Good luck to you, whatever path you choose.
