Today, my alcoholic mother decided to finally check herself into rehab. She did it while drunk, and flirted with the front attendant. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
Today, my mom celebrated a year's sobriety by having a couple of beers with her boyfriend. 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 once-alcoholic mom told me that she would sell me for a shot of vodka. FML
Today, I caught my mom trying to get secretly smashed out of her brain-box on booze at 8:00 a.m. 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, I'm a recovering alcoholic and drug addict. On new years, my mom called and asked what kind of champagne I want. FML
Today, I found out that my mom isn't coming to see me for Christmas. Instead she'll be spending it in jail for a DUI and battery. Thank you to my cocklick of an aunt for taking a recovering alcoholic to a bar and pressuring her into relapse. FML
Today, I confronted my mom about her drinking problems. After I blurted everything out, she completely denied it. She did this as she was drinking a huge cup full of vodka. FML
Today, my mom got drunk and tried to push me off a ladder. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Stop complaining. At least she is admitting to having a problem. At least she is there.

You don't understand how alcoholism works do you?

Checking into rehab drunk? That's like going to the dentist while chewing on a big sugary caramel!

You mean you're not supposed to do that? Damn!

Who remembers when dentists used to hand out candy after a visit. Why did no one back then think that was perverse.

Actually doc makes a good point. Lots of treatment facilities will not take you until you have been sober or clean for a couple of days. Less liability for them. Less of a chance some one will die of alcohol poisoning, over dose or withdrawals on them.

I made a good point? I didn't think that was allowed here.

Every once in a while one will slip by

66, quite a few people do that actually. Some treatment centers will send you to detox beforehand though

yeah, i mean what kind of person would go to DRUG AND ALCOHOL treatment because they use ALCOHOL? i mean, jeez.

I am just stating a rule most places have started to enforce to save themselves from being sued for wrongful death. I mean I have worked in treatment centers. They want people coming in sober not high or drunk where they are responsible for a person who is out of their minds actions. You can have addiction problems and have moments of sobriety.

She obviously qualifies for the program. Be happy she made that first step...

Who's your daddy? The attendant at the rehab clinic, that's who. She probably thinks she's at this awesome bar where she's getting hit on by men in uniform. She'll get her rude awakening when she realizes that the guy who is chatting her up isn't buying her any drinks.

if she's flirting that must be a good sign, or she's just really drunk.

At least she checked into rehab, drunk or not, still did it.

What does that have to do with your life?

When someone is an alcoholic, they don't realize it but they affect ALOT more people than just themselves. It does affect OP because that is their mother. So please stop with the ignorant comments.

Maybe the fact that it's his mother -_-... 40- You beat me to it :(
DocBastard 40
What does OP's mother have to do with his life? Nothing, except the fact that it's the woman who GAVE HIM LIFE and whom he may actually care about. Asshat.
