Sleeping on floor in hotel because you dont want to **** the bed.
Pretty much where i am right now. I am a functioning alcholic in denial. I have so much to offer in the world or to myself at least but the drink pretty much has me.

So sad to hear that.
Though if there's a better definition of "functioning alcoholic" than this post I've never seen one.
Please find help here. There's much wisdom and support.
Only you can take care of this.

You can fix this.
There is a better way.
It’s only scary because it’s a different way of living.
Put sober days in, make a plan.
Make the decision
You are a good person, like myself but with alcohol we live in misery.
Choose sobriety, it really is mind blowing.
Best wishes

Oh man. *Hug*
You know this is progressive right?
I got to the stage where alcohol had taken enough of my integrity and self-respect. I suppose that was my rock bottom, although I didn't end up unemployed or homeless. I just kept finding myself being someone I didn't want to be. I reckon that the person I wanted to be was who I was all along. She was just getting buried alive under all that crap behaviour and insane thinking. But I found her again. Not easy at times, but simple enough.
Do you want to find the you that's getting buried alive too?
You can do it. A day at a time. Maybe you'll need some help along the way to get started- plenty of people do. But that help is there for you when you decide you want it.

me ive had a few cracks at getting sober but I reckon this is the one that's gonna stick for life.

Maud, incontinent is just the start.
I was going to ask if you slept on the floor for fear of #1 or #2? I've had both "accidents". In fact, I've lost control of bladder and bowel while on my feet and cognizant. Stay drunk long enough...

Just before I stopped I was hotel living for a while. I had a twin room, had an accident the first night of a two week stay and developed this convoluted routine of sleeping in the messy bed, making it even more messy most nights and making it up each morning so that room service would leave it alone and unmaking the clean bed so everything appeared normal.
Going to work everyday in a £300 suit but so little self respect that I slept in my own mess for a fortnight.
Things like this had been happening for 20 years at least.
My heart goes out to you but yep..sounds like it's time to do something different. There's no such thing as a better, or more controlled class of alcoholic.

Hey the bright side is your title is some strong reason to get sober. That actually happened to me one time. Believe it or not I was actually in court waiting for a jury duty questionnaire . I had to go into the restroom and throw away my underwear! I was beyond mortified! Store up all those humiliations as they will become good fuel for remaining sober once you quit.

There is no such thing as a "functioning alcoholic" in my opinion. Saying that you are functioning is just another form of denial.
And sleeping on the floor in a hotel room so you don't pee the bed is not functioning. But I think deep down, you already know that.
