Drinking (Serious)

[Brownslave688]

Yes. I grab a six pack of Modelo on my way home from work, pretty much every night.

I don’t drink it until I get home of course.

I’ve never understood this either.

Why not just buy 30 or so to start the week?

I usually had a bunch in the fridge and at least 2 cases on the on deck circle.

That would be the smart thing to do, but if I bought more I would drink more. It’s also become a sort of unwinding routine; stop at 7-11 in uniform and chat with the shopkeep.

The 7-11 I go to is busy all damn day until around the time I’m rolling in after work, around 8-9pm. Then I’m the only MF’er in there and it’s nice to BS with someone who knows what it’s like to be busy all day.

When doing a week at a time on sleeper, never even thot about it. Driving back to home base....well....a couple days off....maybe on the way home, would think about it then make that dream come true.

They think they’re drinking their problems away when in reality they’re only temporarily postponing those problems and creating even worse ones by drinking all the time.

That’s when drinking is the problem.

Is it normal to look forward to that after work drink (or 5) when you still have 30 stops to go?

Yeah, they're alcoholic scum, each and every one. What losers.

I believe alcoholics are very sick individuals. They need help not condemnation.

Drinking sucks. I couldn’t wait to go home, smoke up and get high back when I was in packages.

Just think...Right now, waiting for you at home, your favorite brew, icy cold and refreshing. The pour... ever so tantalizing as that perfect bouquet of finishing hops dances from the bottle and into the air. The frosty mug...displaying that golden hue in all its glory! That first sip... cascading waves of brewmaster perfection! Get home soon, heaven awaits...

That’s a good indication that you have the addictive personality.
Cutback or look up an AA meeting.
If you don’t like the old cliques of people, look up an NA meeting.

A few ice cold Bud Tall Boys numb the pain everyday

true strength is not needing anything and being happy. or striving for justice and coming up short but still being happy.
