You know your an alcoholic when your re-cycleing has earned you an honorable mention for the county, because of all the cans and bottles you have contrived. You were a great contribution to our Re-cycleing Effort ! IAD

This is a good thread, a good reminder for all of us.. Thanks for bumping it Sheri.

You know your an alcoholic when... Oh gosh so many! Which one to choose???


After years of always having a piece of shit car, you finally are able to buy yourself a new car! How exciting!

Two days later you get your brand new car all banged up cuz you got drunk at a ball game, and side swiped a couple of cars in the parking lot! Not such a nice brand new car now!!!:upset:

when...

Although you are the most environmentally ethical person you know, you bury your empties in the regular garbage, rather than having such copious quantities of wine bottles on display in your recycling bin...

..........when your grateful to see your shoes in the morning

You know you're an alcoholic when...

When you pull your bike out of storage in a Canadian Snow storm and ride it to the beer store through feet of snow. I guess at least I didn't drive a motorized vehicle but seriously the guy who sold me the beer must have thought I was freaking NUTS!

You know you're an alcoholic when...

When your daughter refuses to let you go to hear her concert because she knows you are drunk and that would embarrass her...but, you insist on going and get in the shower and fall out the shower to the floor. I didn't make the concert. (but I havent missed one in a very long time..yaya to sobriety!)

a friend of mine had just purchased a fully restored '67 corvette. He picks me up at the bar in the city. This was summer 2008. I was well on my way to drunk. He smokes so I asked him if he had a match. He said to use the lighter. I did, lit my cigarette, and threw the lighter out the window on the henry hudson parkway. He wasn't too pleased!

You know when you're an alcoholic when..... you're too pissed to download a song on itunes, so you decide to phone Apple direct - in America (from Australia) and get loud and obnoxious when they don't understand what the problem is (because you just KNOW that you're funny, witty and speaking complete sense, and why the hell don't they understand simple Aussie slang?).......$68 phone call later, you decide to fix the whole thing yourself, and end up deleting Microsoft from your C drive........bugger!

You know you're an alcoholic when 5 years ago.. you went to a party and wake up the next morning with a blackish eye, sore ribs, door wide open (in central sydney!) and music blaring. You don't remember getting home and the black eye? You ring your friends to see if they have an idea of how you got a black eye and sore ribs.. No idea they say (thats when you know your friends are also alcoholics!)... Finally 12 hours later, you find out you fell into some iron railings and fractured your eye socket.. you felt no pain then so you all decided to go to a bar, where you proceeded to fall off the stool and fractured 2 ribs.. had another few drinks and someone poured you onto a cab!!!. Whew I felt the pain for weeks and weeks !!!

Sorry if this is a bit sombre guys but it's my first post on this thread and it felt like it had to be an honest one.

You know you are an Alcoholic when you are partying hard, drinking like there is no tomorrow with people whom you feel hold you in a degree of esteem. You go to the fridge to get more drink and you overhear someone saying 'Everyone likes a drink, but no-one likes a drunk!' you ignore the pain of the neglectful comment by doing what you do best, laying into the liquor. Then when the party is over you hit a bar to drink some more. You wake the next afternoon and depression kicks in. At one point you feel suicidal and imagine how it would feel to have a rope squeezed around your neck and it's a thought that give's you some comfort. You realise that you are driving yourself to a place where the only comfort you can muster from life is through reflection on the pain of death.

Then you decide to stop drinking and despite the afore-mentioned realisations you find it hard and wonder if you are actually doing the right thing. Then you know that you do not have control over AL and it has control over you!

You know you're an alcoholic when...

I posted this in another thread, but it made me sad and I thought this would be another good example of terrible alcoholic behaviour...

"I also remembered this one time that I took the dog for a walk (I took the dog on a lot of drunken walks...) and I stopped a few blocks down the street at a friends house. Well I had forgotten my cell phone (which would never have happened sober) and I was gone a long time. When I finally got home, my daughter was in tears because it was 9:30 at night, she had no idea where I was, and my cell phone was at home. She was putting her shoes on to go look for me. Imagine! My 11 year old (at the time) getting dressed at 9:30pm (her bedtime) to go look for her drunken mother that was wandering the neighborhood! Talk about shame and embarrassment. Not to mention the impression I left on my friends by barging in on them at 9pm drunk, with my dog. Jeesh, the "joys" of drinking huh? NOT."


Glad those days are over.

You know you're an alcoholic when...

when you're drunk on a busines trip in NYC. I was staying at the waldorf astoria with some ibm buddies too many martini's to mention. back to my room on the 35th floor take off my clothes. Naked except for my briefs I walk out the front door thinking it was the bathroom. oh, what a night...
