Secrets of an alcoholic

Alcoholics are liars, cheats and deceive EVERYONE around them.
Here's TWO places I used to hide alcohol in full view and no-one ever found them.
Women are very clever, so the alcoholic has to be one step ahead, and they mostly are.

Since I’ve been off for just 9 days, my energy feels like a drug and my sleep game is solid asf

Nobody knew I was an alcoholic until one day I came home sober.

[davidnoonan]

I was an alcoholic for years, I use to hide vodka in rubbing alcohol and hydrogen peroxide bottles in the bathroom. Anytime I needed a drink, I’d go “take a pee” and swig what I needed. No one knew, and I was destroying myself. Now 8 months sober by the grace of Jesus Christ, my Healer and Redeemer❤️

I haven’t drank alcohol in almost 3 weeks, but I think about it almost every day.

Edit, July 2nd 2024: A few weeks after writing this comment, I continued drinking throughout the year, and I realized a few months ago that I am an alcoholic. I have restarted my efforts to quit after a year of failure and lies. I have relapsed so many times, but one day I shall prosper.

I was an alcoholic for 10 years (from age 20-30). Drank pretty much daily. Drank at work, drank at home, drank before family events, before everything. No one ever knew until I got sober

I wish you all the best. My husband died a few months ago of Liver Failure due to alcoholism. He was 56.

I am 28, just got out of the hospital yesterday diagnosed with fatty liver, pancreatitis, and my gallbladder is filled with “sludge”. Waiting for follow up with doctor tomorrow. I’ve been drinking since I was 21 almost daily.. hoping my doctor will help me get sober. I want to live.

I was a raging alcoholic junkie and I quit it all and now I can live. I was vomiting blood and I was shaking so badly that I couldn’t hold a pencil or button my buttons or do anything for myself. I detoxed in the hospital and the nurses treated me much better than I deserved. I’m crying thinking about it and writing this 6 years later. It’s no one else’s fault. You have to take responsibility for yourself and get clean for yourself. If you are doing it for other people it won’t last and you’ll end up worse than before you tried to stop. I wish you the best. I hope you have the support you need. Even though a person must make the changes for themselves, they need support from others. 12 steps is still statistically the most effective way for a person to get clean and sober. The drug abuse is only a symptom of the spiritual malady that keeps addicts and alcoholics(just a specific type of addict but an addict nonetheless) using the drugs they use and staying miserable. 12 steps and the rooms of Narcotics anonymous saved my life and people helped me to do what I could not do alone. May God bless you on this journey.

We Alcoholics are the most creative when we try and hide alcohol. If only we put that use to something else.

28 days sober I feel so amazing 🤩 I’m not going to lie though because I like to feel what I’m feeling but I don’t stay there I sometimes drive and think about pulling over to get booze 🥃 but I’ve came too far to turn back now 🙏🏾❤️‍🩹 Happy Healing everyone ❤

[drakemcfee]

Yeah as a 20-year recovered drug addicts I do understand what you mean about being duplicitous we're such good liars we even convinced ourselves but good on you brother for getting clean and letting people know stay strong

[gyufrtsgftrsjjg]

Sober 3+ years now - but when i was at my worst, I was living alone, and STILL hid my vodka lol.

[srock]

I’m so proud of you. I wish my mom would get sober too. Blessings!

Great little video and congrats on your sobriety!
My best friend of 40 years died in 2022 due to alcoholism- and she was pretty good at hiding it as well.
I'm so glad to see all of the comments here from newly (and not so newly) sober folks.
She got sober the year before she passed and tbh I didn't even realize she'd gone back to it until it was too late to help in any significant way. They'd told her at rehab she was at risk for it if she went bk to the booze but she just didn't make it. She sadly passed of wet brain at just shy of 54.
What a heart breaking loss it was for her family, me and so many others.
Keep on keeping on folks, I for one am so happy you're still with us!

Being an alcoholic is a full-time job. Hiding booze and hiding drunkenness, trying to map out the night before like a detective, discovering and practicing the most effective ways to recover half the day, and then the rest of the day other than sleeping is just fighting cravings or being buzzed.

Cheers! Addiction is addiction, right ? A junkie hides the spoon, a drunk hides the booze.
Same shit, different lives .
Cheers !
Clean and sober for a few years here !

[scotthorning]

Hiding alcohol… I thought I was so slick with my alcohol hiding strategies until I went to AA and got a topical discussion on hiding booze. I hid booze in water bottles, drinking half pints as I rolled through car washes, toilet tanks…, dead drops about the house... wall hallows… furnace filters.. After I shared my story a man with a new liver told me he put vodka in his windshield washer tank and rerouted the flow to inside the vehicle cabin. He put a tube in his mouth and got a shot anytime he wanted.

And that is when I knew I was alcoholic and I was lucky to be alive.

Im almost 5 months sober after a month in the hospital with pancreatitus. Ive been an alchoholic for over 20 years. Most of my life. Learning to be sober is a process. The cravings will get less and less. Keep it up everyone. Its better to live. And sobriety is pretty cool when you start putting that time to a better use.

[vozzdancody]

Coming from a 6 year recovering alcoholic, good on ya' mate. The first year for me was a nightmare, but the last 5 years has been pretty easy for me actually. I still think about it every once in a while but not very often. And I also turned my sobriety into creativity and am a woodworker. Cheers my guy

[jasminlangley]

Been sober 2 years now. But it's interesting, because part of the addiction was finding new places to hide it. It was such a thrill to know I'd got away with it again.
