There was a time I was buying a twelve pack nearly every day and then just throwing half out, just to go back and get more. It’s madness.

You drink yourself into a pancreatitis attack that puts you in the hospital, then 4 months later after a good start to sobriety you decide to drink again because you “feel better”

I completely understand this. I’d drive drunk out to the store, to boot.

I still took the bycicle because the store was around the corner, could think that far ahead still if I got caught driving drunk in the car my kids would be home alone and I wouldn’t come back, instead going to the police

I work overnight and all the stores I bought my fix in the morning knew me I would say good morning and they would serve me my night cap and say goodnight to me

8 pm Blacked out but apparently fell in back yard. Found 12 hours later unconscious and body temperature was 40 degrees. Doctors say any more time lapsed I would have died.
Quit alcohol for a bit that was November22. This time I have quit for 19 days and plan to stay sober.
These close calls and stories my friends I really believe are signs there is a much better life to live without drugs and alcohol.

You might be an alcoholic if you did everything in this thread, tried again and again to get sober, and eventually somehow someway you found the courage to seek support from strangers, then you got a day under your belt, a day turned to three, then a month… Then two years later you are here, sober, commenting on a thread about being an alcoholic.

You’ve drank cooking wine or mouthwash when stores are closed and you’re out
You’ve snuck other people’s alcohol without permission
You’ve finished other people’s drinks if they can’t
You’ve spiked your beer or wine with liquor
You’ve entered the wrong sex public restroom to pee

Putting wodka in a plastic soda bottle with water and place it on your desk at work in plain sight. Of course also drinking from it……
Sneak out during lunchbreak or whenever at some point, get in the car were some DOC is or drive to get some. Letting your colleagues wonder were you are……
