You know you are an alki when....

okay, like many new comers I, vasilate on step one. Most days I think I have a problem. But alcholism is self diagnosted. So, am I a alki or not?

You know you are an alki when:
1) You are nursing a two day binge and your client is pulling out of a large deal.
2) You are up two days in a row snorting and drinking and decide to drive
3) You walked by an aa meeting with your gf drunk ( by accident) and knew you should have gone in (In may not of even been an aa meeting, but I thought it was - for the life of me I will never forget that moment.
4) just about every relationship started in a bar and ended mostly badly (Amends to come)
5)You belive that hangovers are a natural part of life
6) You missed your cousin's business christmas party becasue you were too drunk or lasy to drive
7)



I know that I have about 100 more.....

when you start drinking 40oz bottles, so you can tell your doctor that you only drink 3 or 4 beers a day.

you know you're an alcoholic when you spend 30 minutes in the most remote bathroom at work dry heaving into the toilet claiming you'll never do it again, every-freakin-day.

you know you're an alcoholic when you haven't had a solid sh*t in 4 months.

you know you're an alcoholic when you boot & rally.

you know you're an alcoholic when you pass out in the McDonald's drive thru lane with your foot on the brake only to be awaken by a police officer for your 4th DUI arrest and you still complain about the poor service & the fact you never got your food.

When you walk into a liquor store and they get your brand of whisky without asking what you want.

Yanno, when I first started drinking, I thought it was *cool* to have the liquor store owner know your brand, or the bartender know your drink.

Wow, how stupid I turned out to be.

you know you're an alcoholic when you keep doing the same behaviors expecting different results.

You know your an alcoholic when you remember you are fighting internal demons every time you drink and promise yourself you will never ever drink again, but say F it the next day, and blame it on the drinking the night before.

On Sunday morning, you look under the seat of your car for that one last beer you just KNOW had to have rolled under there, because you forgot to buy on Saturday and can't buy more until noon.

Ha, my sponsor lives in NYC and told me that he used to get his booze delivered to his apt. Sometimes, when the liquor store was delivering to his building but hadn't written down the apt #, they would just ring his bell.

When you try not to go to the same liquor store so you drive around to different ones so that the employee does not think you have a problem.
