You know you're an alcoholic when...

When wobble in to buy your 3rd bottle of wine from the same bottle shop and insist you are using it in the bolagnaise sauce..

When you cover up all the empty wine bottles in the recycle bin with milk cartons and newspapers so that YOU don't see them..

When you turn off dinner for a few hours because eating will spoil your BUZZ..

When you order Baclofen from some dodgy online web site...LMAO

You are so desperate you go online, find this forum, and this thread, read thru it and realize you've done almost all mentioned.

You can't go to a bar and enjoy an $8 pint of your favourite beer because all you can think about is you could be home enjoying 4 pints for the same price.

Sh*t, I've just remembered doing that. It was a few months ago. That will explain the lack of invitations to their summer bbq's. That's low.

At the age of 13 you're proud of yourself when you manage to drink 9 whole beers in one sitting

You heckle a guy in a band because you kissed him once and he has now blown you off so you ruin the entire gig and get yourself thrown out of one of the most popular bars in the city

You gamble away money you can't afford to lose when drunk out of your mind

You text, email and phone people you shouldn't and make a complete douchebag of yourself

You drink and drive putting others and yourself in danger and threatening to lose all you've got to be thankful for in life

Your 3 year old daughter sits watching videos all day after you've binged because your hangover is too great to even get up any further than vomiting into a bucket next to you on the floor

Your 7 year old daughter finds you passed out from drink and sleeping pills and calls your mother to come and wake you - little daughter subsequently has nightmares about Mummy's "scary eyes" for the next year on and off

You promise again and again to quit and know your now 13 year old daughter doesn't believe a word of it having heard it so many times, but for some unknown reason she still loves you anyway.

...when your doctor tells you that if you keep drinking you will end up with non reversible liver disease in 3-5 years and...you keep imbibing. guess it's denial...next I should get angry about having to give up, then accept it and lastly maintain pro active cessation plan.

Magico,,same situation here, except I was told I would be dead in five years...And I was angry too. Angry that I was in this predicament, angry that others seem to be drinking as much as me and seem to be just fine. And I'm sure the thought of no alcohol scares the sh$t out of you. It did me too. Take it one minute at a time, one hour, one day, then you starting stringing a few together, suddenly you are sleeping like a baby, have clarity of mind and body, and suddenly, you don't want to go back to those nasty hangovers and 3 am wakeups where you feel like crap and wonder what you did. You can do it...I'm far from an expert and so many others are way ahead of me, so stay close especially during your witching hours...

thanks tassimo. My problem seems to be that my liver doesn't like alcohol as much as i do. I can manage normal life and am quite content but, I enjoy the fun of drinking with my girlfriends; like now I'm looking forward to meeting up with a couple of friends after work for drinks and a few laughs. I feel that will all go if i don't have a couple of wines. the emotional release and bonding is a wonderful thing.

You know you're an alcoholic when you look at your "to do" list and it says "3. File bankruptcy - check"

Can't believe this thread has been resurrected again!!!

[Raven.joy]

You know you're an alcoholic when...

It should be resurrected for each and every one of us as we join this site. How we all recognise we are out of control is subjective but we all have at least a few things in common. Its easy to look back at the days I hid drink around the house and nipped out from work on facile excuses and claimed headache or tiredness when I came home and collapsed. Its easy to look back and laugh.
But it was not really that long ago and the laughter soon turns to a shudder. Some days I am dumb enough to think I may want to drink again. I am sure it will pass the longer I go without.

Woke up in the morning to find my car locked -- and couldn't find the keys anywhere!
100% certain that I'd locked them in the car, I called AAA auto club.
Later, as the guy was jimmying the lock thru the passenger window .... I noticed the keys sitting there on the roof of the car!

I grabbed them, but I think he noticed too. Needless to say, he got a big tip.
