I just used to get this over proof rum sometimes that was stronger then vodka , and it was clear as water, and I’d put it in a water bottle when I didn’t have vodka. If I didn’t have it with me anywhere I’d go I would lose my mind. I had a routine where I had to always have enough booze in my system to wind down and fall asleep by the end of the day, and enough to have in the night / morning when id wake up to fall back asleep or continue my day. It was really bad for me at one point.

I know what you mean about the routine. Always having a half pint On me, a 750 in the freezer… Certain specific liquors very cheap but dangerous. Waking up halfway through the night to drink, drinking before breakfast if I even eat. I recently went back to these routines pretty quickly but now I have eight days off the opiates and alcohol. Seems like you’re frustrated with alcohol as well and on the path of recovery. I’m proud of you. It’s weird because it doesn’t do what it used to do. It never does

You pour a little water in your husband’s fancy scotch because you’ve been secretly nipping into it for weeks and it’s getting too obvious.
This entire thread saved me this weekend. I am so grateful for everyone’s candor.

You think it’s normal to have a glass or two wine with breakfast. So happy to be out of that mess.

Inject vodka into sealed OJ cups and store in your mini fridge at work.

@Mallory I knew it was getting bad for me when I’d drink a whole bottle of wine some mornings for breakfast just to kill my hangover with no food.

I would just forgo the teeth brushing and chug a beer to mask the bad breath.

OMG this was the worst. I actually woke one of the kids up doing this at 4:00 in the morning.

LOL @GrnOtterPop I’m an ex Mormon. I got drunk at the after party of my sister’s wedding at the Mormon church.

One of the most important people from my childhood converted to Mormonism to marry his now wife. His Dad was an adopted father and was gutted there was no alcohol at his sons wedding, so he stashed a bottle in the parking lot. At the time, I figured nothing of it but looking back, the disrespect to my best friend was just not right. I’ve made amends with him but wow, what a selfish act on my part… my drinking was more important than supporting him and his newly found wife, future mother of his children. I feel blessed to be back in his life.

@GrnOtterPop good on you for being honest, I feel exactly the same way about my sister’s after party .
I totally understand that feeling and can relate 110% . The fact that you can admit that now says a lot about how much you’ve grown . It’s okay to learn from our mistakes , and admit in the past we were wrong.

You take a large soda cup of energy drink spiked with vodka to your court mandated drug and alcohol class every week.

You lose the keys to your car, and then also lose your car, and end up sleeping under a park bench with a bunch of homeless people. And then find your car the next morning with the keys sitting on the back bumper.

You put your chardonnay in a soda bottle. So you can drink directly from the bottle without anyone suspecting you are drinking alcohol.
So sad.
