You know you're an alcoholic when...

Chasing my dog around the neighborhood in flip flops. Meanwhile my boyfriend was chasing ME telling me to just go home...the dog always comes back. But oh no, I had to keep sprinting around the block....until I fell and sprained my ankle. By the time I got home, the dog was sitting on the couch looking at me like "Where have you been?"

I did this! had some random herbal remedy pills delivered to my old address (obviously forgot that I had moved house a year ago a when I ordered!) and had absolutely no idea what they were for - hasten to add i threw them away! :H

Oh gosh this thread is fantastic Will keep reading it to help me as I go, I am halfway through a taper (not safe for me to cold quit and I cant do medical detox so unfortunately its my only option.) But I am very determined and this thread is very affirming and all the things I see that make me go oh been there really help my resolve!

Some of mine-
-when you constantly pass out at the computer and dont remember the last few hours.
-Drinking as early as I can in the day
-Cringing at facebook notifications in the morning remembering I went on drunk last night- again!
-Related to the above ^ seeing someone in my course group on fb post a pic- a digital manip- which is awful and has a lot of flaws, everyone else is leaving nice comments and I post a full critique of her work and end with- oh but I like that one element thinking it will come off as encouraging and helpful...read it in the morning and realise I sound like a know-it-all bitch. Thank god for the delete button!
-Get a heap of emails from people I dont know and realise its cause I drunkenly sent an 'urgent' message to AA the night before
-let the kids get up to stuff I shouldnt cause I am too busy sculling wine in the bedroom cause they are stressing me out!
-Planning trips out and making excuses to go out to buy more drinks...and worrying about how to dispose of all the empty packaging hiding in the wardrobe..
-Thinking its a great idea to go out in the middle of the night to play on the kids swing set and trampoline followed by walking on the roof..just cause its so nice outside and you wanna be up high-this last bit didnt turn out so well I made more noise on the roof than I thought and had my mother who lives in a flat downstairs shining a torch and then calling me asking if I could see anything out on the roof cause it sounded like somebody walking around out there...oops. Thank goodness I got back inside to answer the phone in time and she didnt see me
Im sure Ill think of more to add again soon lolol

oh some more- you will not all relate to all of these, as a btw I am photographer/digital artist and studying graphic design (not posting my website for obvious reasons though!)

-when you have to check the photos you edited the night before to make sure they are ok
-when you have a drink before a shoot cause your hands are shaking too much to hold the camera straight :/
-when you sit there staring at images you are supposed to be editing and keep going back to other pages cause you cant concentrate then have to make excuses why they are late...

Also not just tog related.
-When all your most shameful moments you can vaguely remember involve alchohol
-when you realise you have been drinking heavily almost half your life
-when you have trouble getting drunk so you feel drunk anymore..

so sick of this shit! sorry are we allowed to swear here idk

You know you're an alcoholic when...

when, fighting with alchool and taking Baclofen, you realize how your life was really shitty before!

[birdseed]

You know you're an alcoholic when...

When you wake up in the morning to find:
Your kitchen covered in oily black soot.
One of the burners on the stove is a twisted mass of blackened metal.
There's a burned pot, full of something crispy, on your back deck. And the wood beneath it is charred.
And you remember none of it.

And...you drink again that day. :egad:

This is a tragically funny and sad thread, I've done so many of these things!

[hadit]

You know you're an alcoholic when...

When you drive your car into a creek and wonder what the hell the ducks were doing paddling past the window!!! Geez, I have done some dickhead things.

[Byrdlady]

You know you're an alcoholic when...

Hadit! Oh Dear! Ducks going by!! What a visual!
Somebody was looking out for you that night!! (if only a duck!) B

You know you're an alcoholic when...

When you "lose" your dog in the middle of a rainstorm because you left the door open when you were out in the front yard doing lord-knows-what. So you get in the car to look for him, find a neighbor walking around, have him get in the car with you to help you look for the dog, but instead you drive to the store for more beer. Then you invite the guy in to try to make a pass at him. Meanwhile, his girlfriend has called the cops because he went "missing". He eventually goes home and you go to bed, forgetting about the dog. You wake up feeling like hell the next morning and put up "Lost Dog" signs all over the place despite your hangover from hell. You get your dog back...but the whole thing was just an embarrassing MESS!

You know you're an alcoholic when...

I was standing on the back deck of our house at night...trying to put cigarette out in one of those tall butt puter-outers with the little hole in the top that was on the ground, not the deck. I missed the hole, and while leaning forward, fell off the 3ft deck, much like if you put a 2x8 board standing up on a diving board and gently tapped it from the top into the pool. I caught the fall with my face?broke my nose, fractured my neck, scrapes and bruises and lawn/dirt in my mouth. Husband was in the shower. After the little stars and birdies stopped flying around my head, I had to CRAWL across the lawn, crawl up the deck steps, crawl on the deck to the back door, right myself by hanging onto the door frame and knob, and stagger to the couch.

Good times, good times.

OMG Nichau! I usually laugh at the antics we've all got up to but that's not even remotely funny. Brings tears to my eyes...

I'm sorry that happened to you... (

Hopefully you recovered from it. X
