You know you're an alcoholic when...

When you let your dog run wild in the neighborhood because it's late and you're standing outside in the rain anyway, you figure you'll give them some "freedom". A neighbor ends up taking in your poor pathetic "stray" dog and you can't find him anywhere. You pass out and wake up in the morning realizing your dog is missing. How could you go to bed with your poor dog stranded out in the rain??? The next day with a killer hangover you put up posters all over the neighborhood and eventually get your poor dog back. And since it's Friday night, you drink again THAT night too....

Oh I'd forgotten this one Dreamy!!! Only problem is it's so long I don't know which embarrassing moments I've already put on it!! Quite a few STONKERS come to mind
Being the Christmas season --- wot about going for lunch drinks with pals before picking (young) kids up from school and planning on asking the lollipop lady who let the school kids across the road back to the house so I can have more drinks with her rather than on my own --- shite THAT'S YEARS AGO ---- didn't even think I was an alkie!!!!!

You know you're an alcoholic when...

When you go to McDonalds drive thru and place your order in to the rubbish bin and wonder why it does not answer back.
When i used to pass out at the computer and my son would wheel me to bed in the chair.

When you drink a few right before a therapist session that you are paying 200 dollars for. You are going to the therapist to help get yourself on track and stop drinking. You know full well that drinking turns on the switch and that the next drink is all you will be thinking about during the whole hour. Right after the session you go to the liquor store next door and pick up a bottle for home. What a waste of time and money.

I'm just really grateful that I haven't done that in months and as a result am actually making some progress in therapy.

Wandering the neighborhood drunk, come home to to find your daughter crying because you've been gone soooo long and forgot your phone. She's putting on her shoes to come looking for you, at 11pm on a school night.

When you're in the ER and the doctor tells you your BAC is .55 and you say, "I've been drunker."

Alky - sorry, this is so not funny, but I couldn't help but laugh. I'm sure the doctor was not amused. You could have died. OMG...What scary people we are when drunk.

Anyway, spending a whole drunken night on FB sending out friend requests to everyone I have ever known including current co-workers, along with a personal message explaining "why" we should be friends. SHUDDER.
