This post made me laugh so hard in a sad way but yeah we are all a little mad here. I remember finding beer bottles or cans hidden in the most random spots. And immediate panic would set in cause I didnt want anyone to notice.
I use to change stores constantly and sometimes visit different stores so I wasn’t buying too much alcohol for one visit too often and then I’d stash it in random places only to just drink it all anyway and have to go get more once I got over the hangover the next day.
Talk about insanity.

Like most of people here :slight_smile:

All those bottles an cans were recycled, together with cardboard box it came in :slight_smile:

I do not know how it is possible, if I would work in licker store or bar I would go back to my old drinking life, even after that long time being sober.

How do you do that?

Lol it’s nice to look at it as a distant memory, and with a sense of humor

Lol I recently called adult protective services because I noticed my neighbor wasn’t putting out his bins. Turns out he actually was dead.

I think your recyling man will adjust :wink:

SoberTom I remember doing the same thing. I had my range of 4 shops that i would alternate so it wouldn’t make me look like a alcoholic.

Thankfully they don’t hand out heroin with the syringes. I was exposed to a lot of drinking and drugging after I left rehab (not recommended) so I learned how to defend against it early on. I also really enjoy what I do and being able to help people goes a long way to keeping one sober.

I was mainly a bar fly, so no evidence.

Love this! Haha. I’ve been noticing how infrequently I have to take out the recycling… Mostly just mac n cheese boxes and La Croix cans now…

I still have an orange box of shame to put out :disappointed_relieved:IMG_20180831_163635|375x500

Sorry about your neighbor

I would’ve gone broke🤑

That’s so funny! :sweat_smile:
For me it’ll be the guy that rummages through our bins. I was so embarrassed one night when i saw he knew which bin to go through (i buried them underneath):no_mouth:

I’m on day one again! So he’ll be disappointed next week.

Legit, though. I spent most of my time sitting on a barstool drinking. I had so many bartenders call me to make sure I was ok.

They need to sell that boose somehow…

After they bought that much for you and you not showing up, bar will go broke and all will be on your conscience!!!
