Today, I realized that my alcoholism has gotten so bad that I rotate liquor stores so the clerks don't think bad about me. FML

Wild Nights Out
Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my drinking habit hit a new low when I waited almost an hour to go to the liquor store after it opened because I didn't want to seem desperate. FML
Today, I was refused employment at a liquor store. Their reason? I'm a regular customer and they're afraid I'll drink all their profits. FML
Today, I had to admit that I'm an alcoholic when I spent my last dollar bills on Southern Comfort instead of tampons. FML
Today, I was addressed by name by the liquor store clerk. I've never told him my name. He's just seen my ID many times. FML
Today, I noticed I have more alcohol in my fridge than I do actual food. FML
Today, it has got to the point that I don't even have to ask for my booze in the local off-licence, they just hand me my bottle. FML
Today, I had a mumbled conversation with myself in a supermarket aisle about whether or not to buy a bottle of bourbon. Nothing screams "pathetic loser" like an alcoholic in denial having a debate with himself out loud near strangers. FML
Today, I realized that the cashier at the liquor store and I are already on a first-name basis. I just moved to this town a week ago. FML
Today, I bought a small bottle of liquor to share with my husband to celebrate our move. It took three hours at the store as the cashier, manager, GM, and a police officer checked my ID believing it was fake. I'm 25. FML
Today, at dinner, I accidentally let it slip that I'd taken a small sip of alcohol a few years ago and hated it. My extremely strict parents are now trying to get me into rehab. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Talking from experience, you need a couple of things: 1) Small goals that are achievable (such as quitting for 1 day, then 2 days, then a week, etc). 2) Real friends to keep you accountable as you accomplish these goals 3) Productive hobbies to keep you occupied and actively involved (distracted, in other words) 4) Although we never did this as much, heading to a couple of AA meetings can also keep things in perspective and help you accomplish #1-3.

Just so you know. I run three different liquor, beer and wine stores. The three stores that I run communicate all the time about regular customers. We talk to our competitors often, just so we know how much our customers have really had and when to cut them off. You are kidding yourself if you think that rotating to different store is helping your cause at all. Seek help.

If you truly arr an alcoholic - you can't live without it, if you don't drink you go into withdrawels, etc. Get help! It's a long and difficult road, but you can do it. I never thought I would ever stop my addiction, but with the right help, I am now happily sober. Good luck!

Same here. It took a half dozen attempts to pronounce "withdrawals" in pirate.

Considering they are store clerks and selling liquor is their livelihood, so they probably deal with a few alcoholics, I don't think that is necessary. Though you do need some help though it sounds like your beginning to figure that out as you recognized your problem Step 1.
