Bump .....

When - even after 5 years - the clink of bottles in the car boot puts you on red alert.
the 'clanging chimes of doom' ..... :egad:

When you've pulled into the driveway and fallen out of the car in the dead of winter and don't care. Neither did the ex husband, who went into the house without you because he didn't even realize that you weren't right behind him. Could've died out there, but someone was looking out for me.....

[MENTION=9094]satz123[/MENTION] - I still cannot watch movies about alcoholics - "When a Man Loves a Woman" with Andy Garcia and Meg Ryan. "28 Days" with Sandra Bullock and "Flight" with Denzel Washington are three of the ones I've seen. Every scene where they were drinking and had gotten to the point of slurring their words and losing control of their movements or were falling-down drunk had me squirming in my seat. Just made me so uncomfortable thinking about how many times I had gotten to that point. Never again!!!!.

Re: You know you're an alcoholic when...

When everything your son now does - you've done in the past.
e.g. filling up an empty bottle with water having drank the lot.

Mr S is not an alcoholic so can be fooled.
I, on the other hand, am not fooled.
Not sure which is worse .....

I think your role is tougher, Satz :hug:.
Not only are you on to his (stupid) tricks, you know how much pain he's in, even while he causes so much heartache for all of you.
I hope he sees that there is a way out soon. xx

When somebody asks you if you have ever thought of quitting alcohol and promising never to drink again, and you think 'Well yes, a***hole, every morning'

This thread always cracks me up. Sad and true. All the stupid things we did. It's normal to drive down the road with a keg in the back seat and your buddy pulling beers, right?

It's actually compulsory here. Part of the new driver test.
