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!

Despite what most of these idiots say, I understand. Been there, done that. In fact I did that for a very long time. Just find something to take your mind off it. Rehab is no good, it never helps anyone. AA is a joke, the true statistics show it helps no more than help themselves. Experiment, do what works for you. And if yuo slip and have a drink oh well, one will not kill you. Just pick up from there and keep going. Sooner or later you hit the finish line. Good luck!

Call it a sneaking suspicion... I'm willing to bet that you have had people in your life who would have stuck by you through thick and thin and helped you battle your addiction. How badly have you alienated those people? Are there any left or are you now surrounded by enablers? When you are ready to get sober you will have to rebuild those bridges you've burned, swallow your pride and ask for compassion and forgiveness. One thing you will learn is that in order to stay sober you need to remove the toxic elements, and people, from your life. If you look to the past you will find people who, stupidly perhaps, still care enough to support you in your battle. albertahealthservices.ca/services.asp?pid=service&rid=1008399 1-866-332-2322 There are many addictions in this world, I've battled and won an addiction and love/hate relationship with food. In time you too will be ready to reclaim your life, here's to hoping that happens before your life is too ruined to live.

The same thing happened to me. I had about three or four stores I went to. One day I got a really bad headache from the beer and every time after that it was the same. finally I couldn't take the pain anymore and just quit cold turkey. Maybe you will just get tired of feeling bad one day. oh yea if your right side just under your rib cadge is hurting you might want to have your liver checked.
