I’m not sure if it’s cause I’m an alcoholic or just cause I was taught not to waste anything,
When you can’t leave a beer half full so you down it before leaving the restaurant or event you’re at

When it’s not even 7am, your not up for the day, and you are already itching and planning for that first drink

Beginning drinking for the day on an empty stomach then not eating all day because you are afraid you will be too full and it will slow down the drinking. How does it progress to such sad and pathetic level? Great thread, being sober is truly living.

You drink so much you know you probably are one, take a quiz, get scared, stop, then let other’s convince you that you are not, you’re just crazy, then you drink again, later try you to kill yourself, recover from that then you try again to gain the mental capacity to stop you from doing stupid shit all together…

Drove your car into the Atlantic ocean; backed it up and parked on the side of the road.
Lost the car for 3 days since you were too drunk to remember where you parked it.
Called the police to report car stolen; only to find it later the same day with the keys still in it.
Started drinking immediately for “finding my car”. OMG the insanity.

Being the last one standing at the party at daybreak cooking breakfast in a friend’s kitchen for everybody else that was passed out including my husband and the band probably should have been a good indicator that I shouldn’t have taken anybody else’s word on that… 
My thoughts were “weaklings”… 🤦 Nah, I was an alcoholic that didn’t know it…

This isn’t even one of my worst ones at all, but I am currently on day 5 of being sober after a relapse (proud to be back - yay!) and I just got an email from an electrician who came to fix my radiator last week asking if I’d leave feedback. I was so hungover/still drunk that I stumbled into the hall to open the door and had to drag myself straight back to bed while he worked. I can’t imagine what he would have thought. But I won’t dwell on that, I will learn from it - I left a glowing review and the next time a workman has to fix something in my house I’ll be sober, will make them a cup of tea and biscuits!

Oh yes, I’ve been there!
I completely agree!! I don’t know but I feel I used “Not wasting” as my excuse for SO MUCH of my drinking! Like if there was a meal deal where wine was included I’d feel I’d have to drink it and then obviously would end up spending soooooo much more on lots more drinks, so it wasn’t a deal after all.

Omg I’ve done this! Don’t care about anything because you’re hungover, ugh
Ive been there… So embrrasing
You live by
“The best cure for a hangover is another beer” and then proceed to call it “the breakfast of champions” fucking gaggg*
And I’m actually glad to know I’m not the only one who dreaded the awful clinking of the bottles as you take them out. Definitely thought I was alone…
I would hide beer walking from my car to the house in the diaper bag or my purse and openly wave around juices making it look like that was the only thing I bought, because i was paranoid and if a neighbor happened to be looking out the window at me I didn’t want them to see me bringing home beer every single day.

You drink and drive and roll your truck 3 times into a ditch full of water and barely escape out the passenger window. Yup truck was totalled. I walked away without a scratch. A miracle id say.

Ugh, although I wasn’t driving, I was passenger on an atv and we rolled it going 60mph. I broke my neck, back, nose, ankle, basically ripped my whole face off. No helmet. We were both drinking. We were told if we weren’t we probably would have both died because we would have reacted. Being drunk there was no reaction from us. Not a good thing, I’m happy I’m alive though. However my neck hurts all day every day and this was almost two years ago! And I’m still paying medical bills.

You throw a plate across the room while out to dinner to make your point because you assume no one is listening to you.

Lol very true, except coke always made me not want to drink. It would like be so hard to drink a beer after doing a line. But once the coke buzz went away I was ready to start slugging again. And I would stay up untill the store would open so I could go get more alcohol and party through the next day…I use to do drink almond extract, vanilla extract, id drink anything if it had alcohol in it and would keep my drunk going
Ha. That was always the Only reason I did coke. Coke was never my thing, but drinking sure was. So it was either pass out or do a bump to keep drinking
