      You know you're an alcoholic when...

      When you fall asleep while riding your mountain bike and end up being dragged off a duel carriageway by paramedics who think your dead; only to find your ONLY comatose with a cocktail of drink and drugs.

        You know you're an alcoholic when...

        Wiping eyes, as well, yet feeling not quite so shamefull after reading the familiar.

        "You" are found naked half in the bathroom and your 70+ year old mother has to pick you up as you had fallen and broke nice stuff in room.

        "You" go to your boyfriends to order chinese food and prior to going in your gulp from the Vodka you have poured in a 7~up bottle in car to "get you through" until you can slip back out to car and boyfriend goes to get food, returns to you naked in bed in Coma. Boyfriend calls your mother and she dresses you and it takes 4 people to carry "your"dead weight body to car and " you " wake up smiling with tubes coming out of you from "your" coma saying "Hi", wondering what happened to your mother sitting there as she hoped you did not die.

        (many more naked stories to come)

        "You" can't recall what happened to certain items, were they broke or lost and if so, when?

        " You" are still looking for your valued Art portfolio book that is pricelss for it has all your memories and examples of your work for exhibit.

        " You" have a "you "treasured because "you" lost the wonderful job at The Mandalay Bay that had terrific benefits and opportunity because "you" guzzled Vodka prior to shift and they could smell it. "You" are sent to security, blood tests taken, and told to not get in "your" car.
        With security cameras aplenty "you" get in your car.

          Last one got scrambled on last post, sorry.

          "You " have a champagne induced garage sale at 8Am selling all your treasured antiques and precious amazing furniture that is irreplacable because "you" lost your valued job at Fine Dining restaurant that was going to change your life with all its perks and benefits for you guzzled Vodka in car you had poured into milk carton moments before your shift and the manager on duty smelled it, sent you through the system to be processed/blood test taken and the person doing this says, you are plastered and you are baffled as you were sure you appeared and acted normal. You are walked to the outside of business and told not to drive your car . With security cames every 20 feet, "you" go to your car and drive away.

            I really want to know, who is that cute guy in IAD's bathtub??

            It is a sad thread but it is more realistic than others I have seen. In the past, we had threads making jokes about drunk experiences. This one is pretty bittersweet. More bitter of course. I am particularly saddened by the hand splicing episode and Hippie's bike ride.

            You know you are an alcoholic when you pull all the shades down on weekends, after attempting to drink your loneliness away, and wait for the hangover to go away.

                When you hide bottles from your 8 and 13 year old children cause they are sick of seeing Mommy drunk and depressed!!!
                When you call out of work for the 3rd day in a row, so you kill off a distant relative that no one will know if they really died or not. OH THE SHAME!!!!
                When you cuss out your ex-husbands girlfriend because you have decided you hate her hair color...bleach platnium blonde and proceed to tell her she is fat too....DOUBLE SHAME!!! Cause I really could care less....I never have any communication with her.

                  I thought we were "problem drinkers," not "alcoholics." Not to set off a firestorm of semantics...or denial....

                    CS04,

                    There are many problem drinkers here.

                    There are also many alcoholics.

                      what drinking has done is bring me to YOU~

                      I am doing the thing I thought I could not do as I expose my story that has been inprisoned within!

                      Thanks, with gratitude.

                      This has been so unconditionally freeing and without judgement and I have experienced such freedom from the lack of condtions to just bare ones soul and experience.

                      One with a problem of Alcohol that makes my drinking a problem.

                          When you are pretending to be sober and playing monopoly (because this time, you can WIN) at your mother's 50th birthday party and someone else purchases Park Place you scream "F#*K"! "That was MINE!" and you look around and even Grandma is diverting her eyes away from you like she doesn't know who you are...... OUCH

                            When you fall and damage your rotator cuff and tell yourself you will quit drinking and the very next day drink in hand you say WTF would have fallen anyway and it would have hurt a lot more. (btw shoulder had to be surgically repaired)

                            When you are so drunk you literally cannot find your car and when you finally do find it you drive home.

                            When you board a plane with your kiddos and arrive at your destination with a scrape on the bridge of your nose that you have no idea how it got there. (if you had been alone, no way you would have been allowed to board)

                              Dolphin,

                              Fortunately no scar but the scab lasted for a week or so. Imagine my parents asking what happened and me not knowing and not being able to really give and answer b/c I had no idea if any/all of my 4 kids knew the truth!!!
