Today, my mom told me she wasn't an alcoholic because she doesn't get "black out drunk" daily. She only gets drunk enough to slur her words and reek of alcohol daily, so it's okay. FML

Today, my mum got upset with me for getting my first hangover ever after being of legal drinking age for over 6 years. She is a closet alcoholic in denial who hides red wine bottles around the house. FML

Today, I asked my mom why she drinks. She said she only drinks when she's depressed. My step-dad said she only drinks on the weekend. Those are the days I'm at her house. FML

Today, I had to pick up my drunk mom at bar. While we were driving home, she thanked me over and over again, and then said, "Thank god you have no life!" FML

Today, my drunken mother told me I'm just like my father and that I don't give a fuck about her. She's living in my home and drinking my wine. FML

Today, my mom left the house in the morning, leaving me alone. I called and I got no answer. Hours later, she finally answers one of my calls and tells me that she'd been in an AA meeting all this time. Happy, I tell her to come home. She came home drunk. FML

Today, as usual, my mom got shitfaced and started berating me for something. This time, it was for missing a therapy appointment. Not only am I unable to drive, it was her appointment. For her alcoholism. FML

Sorry to threadjack, but OP, please try to get your mother help. My uncle died due to his alcoholism (he was drunk and shot himself and some organ had been damaged too badly by the drinking and so he bled out, sorry I don't remember exact details it was 8 yrs ago) and my aunt has never been the same. Don't lose your mother to the horrible monster that is alcoholism.

I think it might be time to lock the liquor away and lose the key.

That probably won't stop her from going to the liquor store and buying more :)

My mother always told me she wasn't an alcoholic because she never drank a full beer/cup of wine. She would always leave like a 1/4 inch at the bottom and start a new one. "I'm not drunk, i haven't even finished one yet" her exact words to me almost daily. i feel ya.

Alcoholics go to meetings. She's just a run of the mill drunk.

That is false information. Alcoholism is categorized as a disease so anyone that is dependent on alcohol is an alcoholic. That's like saying a schizophrenic person isn't actually schizophrenic until they get treatment or a drug addict isn't an addict until they go to rehab. It's a ridiculous notion.
