Oh, Harvey...I was hoping nobody would bring up the peeing issue...bed-wetting while passed out is just NOT hot, don't care who you are. So humiliating!!

Oh, yeah, and emailing Dave Matthews lyrics to the massage therapist with the pregnant wife (during blackout), also not good.

Funny now, almost. Really not funny when this stuff happened, am I right? Damned destructive shit. Good riddance.

Leaning out the car door in the AA parking lot to puke and try to do it quietly while attempting to cover the inside light with your hand but can't reach.

My B-I-L: You shove a very large knife through your hand trying to splice apart some frozen samosas.

you try to act macho trying to open a beer bottle cap with your bare teeth, and find a couple of teeth broken into pieces because you are too drunk to percieve the pain...yes it happened to me!:boohoo:

Your husband and mother-in-law are in your living room having a drink with you - you pop out to the kitchen to refill your glass, you pull the vodka from the freezer, pour a very very large measure, gulp it down in one, refill your glass with a reasonable measure and walk back into the living room with it.

When you sober up at work and have to go out on your break to check the car park to see if you drove in.

Wondering, while sobbing uncontrollably, why I can't just be normal.

I'm with cindi, this thread makes me want to cry.

Aw, don't be so sad!

Sure, it sucks to be an alkie, but think about it - there are lots of people who are not normal in much worse ways than we are (aren't?). On the "not normal" scale, we barely even rate.

We're all gonna be okay! So we don't get to sip on wine and cocktails! Fuck a duck!!! ('Scuse my French.) Hate it for us. Oh, well...at least we can still cuss and have sex.

good point Larisa, about the normal.

The experiences we allow ourselves...the self abuse...we willing open ourselves to...makes me sad...this addiction makes me sad. But...move onward and upward! On to better, sober, days!:h

This thread partly makes me sad.. and partly makes me happy knowing that there are others struggling like I am.

Here's mine ...

When you ask your kids something, or bring something up to them ... and they tell you that you've already had this conversation .. and, for the life of you, you can't remember it....... And this has happened so often over the years that you've taught yourself to approach a subject without seeming like you have or have not talked about it already.

When you take a drink in the morning and wonder how many other people in your neighbourhood, or city, are doing the same ... and feeling like you're probably the only one.

You know you're an alcoholic when...

When you cancelled appointments because you are too drunk to go. i have used every lying excuse in the book - stomach bug, kid is ill, got dates mixed up, etc.......

And I also cancelled people coming round to visit me, saying i was ill, when the truth was i was too drunk to guarantee i wouldn't have passed out by the time they got to my home.

ugh!

When, having run out of mixers for your vodka, you decide that pickle juice will do just fine.

On more than one occasion.

Good thing I like pickles.
