Today, there was a lot of discussion about alcoholics hiding their liquor……
Well,,,I discovered, to my amazement, that there is a plethora of websites about where to hide liquor and other "stuff".....
Some of it was amazing and rather creative....
Who knew?

I wasn't really with my ex long enough to get too obsessive about finding where he was hiding booze (certainly realized that he was secretly drinking), but it's honestly kind of amazing how smart and stupid the hiding can be. Sometimes it would seem that my ex would all of sudden be slurring and I had absolutely no idea when and where he had been drinking. On the other hand, one time I literally saw him wrap a 20 oz beer can in his towel on the way to the shower. I confronted him about it, he lied, I said "ok, well then open up the towel" and sure enough there it was. He looked at it like he was so confused as to how it had got there...
I remember reading a post about a "wine purse" over in the alcoholics' section of the forum and being astounded that such a thing existed. I guess it stands to reason that there are web sites about how to hide booze, too...
What a world we live in, indeed!

I like how my brain now goes to turning this around to my recovery!
I've been stashing bits and pieces everywhere along the way and come across them often. Notes to myself. Books, ebooks, phrases, quotes. Songs, signs and even my new 3/4 size guitar that I've written things on the back of it with a sharpie.
For a while it was post-it notes that DS & I wrote positive words & phrases on and posted everwhere!! Especially by our beds and on doorways.
Even more fun is discovering signs my Higher Power has for me. Many in very hidden places, until I start getting really curious and pay attention!

I think I've officially heard everything now....

Anywhere is a potential hiding place. The day they try to shove a bottle up their ass they have a real problem lol 🤣

before websites, rehab was where alcoholics learned to hide their drinking/liquor. i still believe in rehab for alcoholics, but along with learning how to stay sober they will also learn how to "hide" in new and interesting ways.

1) "Holy crap, I don't want to turn into one of THOSE people. I better get my act together".
2) "Hey, I'm not that bad compared to so and so, they burned their house down/sold a kidney/lived in a sewer because of their drinking, and I haven't done that [yet], so I don't really have a problem".
3)"What can I learn from other alcoholics that will help me stay away from alcohol?"
When I drank with my AH, I would put my liquor in the washing machine so (a) he wouldn't drink it all and (b) my daughter wouldn't see it. I knew there was no way either one of them was going to take it upon themselves to do laundry!
I remember being so surprised. I had been divorced for a while and decided to do some landscaping. Then I realized that my XAH actually would bury his bottles in the back yard! They also fell out of the rafters in the garage and about scared me to death. We have been divorced for quite some time, I am sure there are still some hidden in my house.
In my experience, landscaping is a common way to find it....lol....
Hiding outside, in flower beds...under fallen leaves, in barbeque pits, stuck in bushes and hollow trees, and in the downspouts and gutters, behind fences and, in lawn equipment....and trash cans.....

In AHs case tonight..under the bbq tarpaulin cover before relocation to the conservatory under the sofa (sofa is on legs)
Omg😂
Bimini. So funny!!
Just to make myself clear I am not laughing at anyone. Mostly I’m laughing at myself, as I see myself sometimes enmeshed in reading things and all the sudden two hours of the time Have gone by😂
And of course, I never did that..... really.
Warmly,

Imagine wanting a drink and going through all this subterfuge and then, in some cases, getting up later and digging a 5 foot hole to hide it in lol
This is not normal!!
