Thanks UN (I think! LOL :H)

Yes, it IS painful to be this honest...but I really, and I mean finally REALLY started to recover when I was able to be 100% honest with myself. This crap happened and pretending it didn't won't make it go away.

You go to a bar with friends, share drinks with some girl you have never met before in your life (and she doesn't exactly look 'clean') yell at older gentlemen in the parking lot for NO damn reason, then leave by yourself and walk home through cornfields all while in socks because your boots pissed you off, threw your scarf somewhere and lost a friends brand new iPhone...
And you remember n.o.t.h.i.n.g.
Something seriously bad could have happened. Thank God, that it didn't.

You know you're an alcoholic when...

when I have 125 days AF and I want to pick up a bottle of cold white wine so badly that I want to scream. I am just so damn sick and tired of being grouchy and irritable. This has been going on for a good 2 or 3 weeks now and I CAN"T STAND IT.:upset:

Thanks!! I've been checking everything out for about a week. Today was particularly difficult for me. But I made it thru, took everyone's advise and ate like a pig! That seems to actually work!! thanks for making me feel welcome!

When you take your kids for a milkshake and end up not remembering the rest of the day.

You know you're an alcoholic when...

When, even in the light of all the damage and hurt you've caused through drinking, you still find yourself feeling like stopping drinking is a big loss instead of a great gain.

Dear CM,

When you turn 'feeling like stopping drinking is a big loss instead of a great gain' around and realize that an evil thing is lost and real life is gained, you'll have it!!

It takes time and effort but it can be done. Reading and posting here more than you can imagine possible -- to the point that you suspect everyone on MWO is sick of hearing from you -- is one way to do it.

Over time, you'll feel yourself changing and one day it will occur to you that you're done with all that mess and your're glad. You can't 'make' it happen but you can put yourself in the position for it to happen within you.

I wish that for you and everyone else here. Use what MWO offers -- and while you're helping yourself, you'll be helping others. WIN-WIN!

Chiller,

As I am sure you know, the definition of addiction is continuing to use the addictive substance despite horrible consequences because of the addiction.

Don't feel badly about yourself because you are an alcoholic, but recognize that this addiction is telling you to do something you absolutely should not do.

When you never run out of stories to tell on the "You Know You're An Alcoholic When..." thread!

(...but I will spare you for now...)

You know you're an alcoholic when...

You know you're an alcoholic when you go to get something out of a drawer to get ready for work and empty bottles of scotch are rattling around in the drawer! Then, deciding 'shit, thats not good, wonder where else I've hid them' you look and find bottles in other drawers and cupboards

[scottishman]

You know you're an alcoholic when...

when your mornings involve trying to get to the trash bin without being heard rattling, the bottles -not you personally! ha ha

well, come to think of it, that too, shaking like a leaf lol
