Am i am an alcoholic?

Before work, I have a couple drinks. Usually, I'll have a strong beer with breakfast. Just enough to take the edge off a little.

Then, I'll put 3 shots of scotch in my coffee. I'll put that in my thermos, and I kinda nurse it through the day.

After I leave work, I head straight home and pour myself like 12 ounces of scotch. I nurse that through the night, and sometimes I drink another 2 or 3 shots before going to bed.

Some weekends I'll go on massive benders where I can barely remember anything. And I've done some REALLY stupid stuff. Here's a partial list of stuff I have done while drunk:

- urinated in my own bed and vomited on myself in the same night

- punched holes in the wall (I do this all the time)

- gave myself a tattoo that just says "fuck it" and is obviously homemade and very poorly done obviously, it's on my thigh so not visible or anything.

- went on numerous drunken tirades that drove away my girlfriend and I miss her every day

- lost a previous job because I threw up in the garbage can in my office

- pissed in my own closet (do this often when I go on benders)

- hooked up with strangers from Craigslist, I do this all the time

- sometimes go on drunken rages where I destroy my own belongings

- shit the bed a few times

- took a shit in roommate's bedroom during an argument

- was kicked out of a hotel for urinating all over the rug and vomiting on the bed after drinking like a fifth of vodka and a half

    Repeat after me, "hello my name is OP, and I'm an alcoholic".

    https://www.aa.org/

    Here is a second link on the Alcoholics Anonymous website that has PDFs of the AA Big Book, and the Twelve and Twelve that you can download for free. Dude, you need to get to a meeting ASAP!

    Your girlfriend was smart to leave you, because you really are a mess. I don't know what kinda person she is, but if you miss her as much as you say you do then she certainly didn't deserve to be subjected to all of that chaos, and drama. Good for her for taking care of herself. Life is too short to a codependent martyr, and put up with all of that bullshit.

    Please go get help!

    • I know this probably sounds horrible, but I'm seeing someone else now. She accepts me as I am and isn't trying to get me to stop drinking.

      There is a bit of an age difference though. I'm 25 and she's 60, but I'm madly in love with her now since we met on Craigslist personals a week ago.

      • "Bit of an age difference"- woman is 10 years more than twice your age, lol. A relationship between two consenting adults isn't the issue here, though.

        You're an alcoholic. Though, regardless of the addiction factor, you've already had serious issues because of alcohol.

        Losing employment, relationships that you care about, and apparently proper control of your bodily functions are telltale signs to cut back on the boozing.

        • It's not that bad. I just piss in the closet sometimes, no big deal. And as far as the job, I'm working now. So no loss really.

          As for my previous girlfriend, she was very petty when I think about it. Made a big deal over random stuff like a piss in the closet.

          My girlfriend now doesn't get all dramatic over stuff like that. I've found true love. I've never felt like this about anyone before

          Hell, I pissed in the closet last night, and my girlfriend didn't care. Because she isn't petty like that dumb bitch I was with before. I've been drunk as fuck since this morning, and I have to say..... life is so much better now.

          The girl I was with before used to always ride me about lame stuff. Like if I would be drunk on Saturday morning, she would call me out on staggering around and sometimes get pissed at me over it. But things are good now, since nobody's riding me about lame stuff like that

            Urinating in the closet IS a big deal. You honestly sound like a troll.

        Jesus Christ, I hope this is a troll post, because if this is real you are probably just using her for her money.

        This has a bit of that troll smell. I've had bowel movements that smelled better, dude.

        • I'm not actually. She actually doesn't really have much money either. She's a crackhead actually, though I don't partake in that.

          She understands me. And doesn't get bothered by petty stuff like when I wake up all confused and piss in the closet. My last girlfriend used to get real angry and petty over stuff like that.

            Craigslist hasn't had personals in almost a year and you don't know the alcohol content of the beer you supposedly consume.

            I agree with Rose. FAF!

            Most people think pissing in a closet is vile.

              You know what confused me? Scum bags like the OP have no problem getting girls. But, intelligent high quality males like me with graduate credits in Electrical Engineering, who have done international consulting are completely rejected. Women won't even hold eye contact with me.

              This stuff is real, and it makes no sense. I mean what the fuck? The primitive female mind is incomprehensible.

    You need help bro. You ARE an alcoholic.
    I like drinking too, but I've never done any of the shit you do. I drink only in the evenings, except for weekends, where I also drink at lunch. I'm what's called a heavy drinker (having more than 3 drinks a day).

    But you are a proper alcoholic and you better get some help. Cause booze can fuck up your life and leave you out on the street.

    Hope you sort it out.

    You aren’t even the fun type of alcoholic. Get sober.

    PFFT! You call THAT being an alcoholic?
    I have a step sister who is worse.
    Before she gets in the car to drive somewhere, she puts in an I.V. hooked to a bottle of moonshine or everclear. But even then, the I.V. tube is rigged with a pump so it could enter her system faster.
    She has not been sober since I believe 1990.

    Yeah dude, you're a drunk. You should probably just go cold turkey.

      It can be very dangerous for a heavy drinker to go cold turkey without medical supervision.

            I think that's actually a good example of exactly what "biting the bullet" is. Not every comment on here has to be taken so literally, y'all. If I really need to be literal, then OP needs to check in somewhere they can be monitored. Is that better ladies? And also if OP is going to take everything someone says on here seriously, they have more than a drinking problem.

    Only you can decide if you are an alcoholic.

    Have you reached the jumping off point? Are you unable to imagine life either with or without alcohol? Do you know a loneliness few do?

    "you can quickly diagnose yourself. Step over to the nearest barroom and try some controlled drinking. Try to drink and stop abruptly. Try it more than once. It will not take long for you to decide, if you are honest with yourself about it. It may be worth a bad case of jitters if you get a full knowledge of your condition." A.A page 31, 32.

    This is why I'm not an organ donor. When I die, I'm taking my liver with me.

          • I'll probably want to have everything salvageable donated for medical or scientific use.

            Next to that would be being fed to my pets as a final treat. I bet I've got some pretty good chops on me, if I do say so myself.

            I just want some use to be made of my corpse. I dislike waste.
