Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I celebrated my friend's 5-month sobriety milestone with her by getting absolutely wasted. FML
Today, my mom showed up completely hammered to a party I was throwing. The party was to celebrate the ten years that I've been sober. FML
Today, it's my one-year anniversary of being sober. For the occasion, my father decided to spice-up my non-alcoholic cocktail with booze. I didn't realize, and drank it. FML
Today, my mother-in-law gave me a bottle of champagne for my birthday. This is the third year in a row she has done this. I'm a recovering alcoholic, and she's well aware of that fact. FML
Today, my alcoholic mother decided to finally check herself into rehab. She did it while drunk, and flirted with the front attendant. FML
Today, as a recovering alcoholic, I called my brother to share the news that I've been sober for a month. He invited me to a bar to celebrate. FML
Today, I'm a recovering alcoholic and drug addict. On new years, my mom called and asked what kind of champagne I want. 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, my mum got upset with me for having 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 was watching a home video of when my mom was pregnant with me. She had a beer in her hand. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

I feel your pain. 9 years of her spending time working on her and neglecting me. NOW, since I've become an adult, she decides to throw it all away.

F her life ! well tomorrow is another day. I fought tooth and nail to quit smoking and had relapses as well. Eventually what worked for me was the realization that I am just as addicted now as I was when I used to smoke (cigarettes) years ago and *always* will have to watch for cravings and relapses. So I know that I cannot have one casually like other people can. After a while you miss it less and less but it is a lot of work. I suspect alcoholism is very similar and a daily fight as well. Good luck to your Mom. Back on the wagon tomorrow , hopefully?. If the boyfriend is the one who tempted her with the toast, he's an idiot! next time celebrate by getting her a manicure or going to the movies !

What if her goal was to only achieve 1 year without drinking. In that scenario. A well earned drink us totally called for. I myself will have a month off drinking, if the month before was a bit of a party month. One year booze free when there are so many who can't go a day. Congratulations! I say! ☺

Reminds me of a dumb criminal story. Guy busted for buying cocaine. Said the reason he bought it was to celebrate the completion of rehab.

once an addict, always an addict. it's a long and difficult race with no finish line. best of luck to her and the family

I don't understand why people can't be allowed to have an occasional beer if they've beaten their addictive hold on it. If she's strong enough maybe having a couple every now and then is enough. Bring on the down votes!
