Pick up some more on the way home. Start on a kids project (so proud of myself) all the while I am still tilting them back. It's about 9 pm. Go out and pick up a 22 oz. then sleep.

Wake up this morning, bloated, red eyes. Trying to shower off the stench. Loading up on soap, mouthwash, cologne. Getting ready for church. Oh yeah, on top of being a drunk, I am also a hypocrite.

Yesterday seemed like it was going to be the perfect day till I chose to have that first drink. Please don't drink today. It's not worth it.
What else are you doing besides not drinking? If it was that easy, I would have to find a real job and sites like this wouldn't exist.

If you can't stop drinking and stay stopped, you may have the medical condition known as Alcohol Use Disorder, Severe (It's easier to just say alcoholism ) and if that's the case you are no more a hypocrite than the guy who goes to church after a gout flare-up.

Welcome back.

I love this post because it so much seems how things go a lot of the time. Things are great and it's hard to understand why we needed to drink?! I don't have answers but liked this post because it's honest and close to my heart. Thanks for sharing. x
