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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
Today, a local liquor store gave me a holiday gift for being such a great customer. They're not the first ones to do so. 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 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 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, the girl who works at the liquor store came to where I work. She recognized me. FML
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 tried to buy a bottle of wine from the supermarket. The scrawny, acne-ridden kid at the checkout asked to see my ID. I didn't have any on me, since I'm 37 years old and didn't expect to be asked stupid questions. I complained to his manager, only to be asked to leave. 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, I came home from a nine-hour shift and all I want is to sit down with a glass of Baileys. I can't find the key to the liquor cabinet. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

there was one case where an old lady would order the same pizza everyday for three years without fail to the point where they would cook it before she even phoned. One day when she didn't call the driver went to her house to check on her and found she suffered a stroke. moral of the story: your alcoholism could one day save your life!

As someone who has alcoholic family members please please get help while you can. Please. There's different kinds of alcoholics but when it becomes regular or a reaction then it's a problem. your life is not worth any drink. your family and those close to you don't want to see you sick or worse.

Am I the only one wondering what "off license" means?

You might be the only one too lazy to google it.

Me too. I'm guessing it's an American thing. I was wrong, it's a UK/AUS/NZ thing. It means they can sell alcohol for off premise, instead of alcohol to be consumed on premise (like a bar). Thank you Google.

To everyone assuming OP is an alcoholic: I go to my local liquor store's drive thru every other Saturday and order the same fifth of vodka, not a well known brand, and two liter of soda. The clerks know me and know what I want and get it without asking. I then go and play my regular card game and share the vodka with 7 other people over the course of 4 hours. Does that make me an alcoholic? No, not at all. Hell, last Saturday we only used half the bottle. Now, the fact OP seems concerned might be of concern, or it could be an odd, yet regular order. I grew up with alcoholic parents, and alcoholism sucks, but that might not be the case.

The first step is admitting the problem

I've been there op. It takes a lot of willpower to break the cycle but you can do it. Seems to get easier as time passes. For me at least

Not sure why everyone is saying he's an alcoholic as it didn't say he went every day. Food service workers recognize regulars after just a handful of visits. Even if that guy came in once a month, as long as it was the same employee working, they'd know his order.
