- 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
Still sober 🤙
@@MistaTea247hey we are 9 day sober buddys how cool
@@JD-lt3wj yes, sir. Im sitting here at almost 10PM on a Sunday night, thinking about it. I’m 38 years old and can’t remember a weekend much less a week where I didn’t drink a single sip of alcohol. I just feel great. How are you?
@@MistaTea247 still no alcohol it’s strange especially considering not having a sip especially on a weekend but still going strong hopefully you are still pushing like me
@@JD-lt3wj Yes. Thinking about it less and less every day. Cravings are definitely still there. I am leaving to go out of town for work, but I’ve already made my plans to eat at the bar and crush the soda water with limes. I did that last week and it was satisfying. Keep going strong man! 💪
Nobody knew I was an alcoholic until one day I came home sober.
I’ll drink to that 🍻
Hahahaha
@@firstlast8258bruh 💀
You just stopped?
👏
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❤️
We alcoholics can be very creative
Amen brother🙏🏻☦️
This is a genuine question but do you think you could have overcome the addiction without your newfound religious beliefs? I only ask because I was addicted to opiates for over 7 years (i didn't drink much but addiction is similar either way) and I went through a "spiritual" or "religious" time while trying to quit and it just didn't help me much. I started to see myself as someone just trying to hope for a miracle from a deity, like it would fix my problems. It wasn't until I found that strength in myself and I finally got over what I still consider literal hell on earth. But so many others who fought addiction I know seem to have found a new religious outlook on life. I am a bit disappointed it didn't work for me like it did others.
But whatever I guess at least I finally beat my own demons lol
I wish you the best in life David 🙏🏼
:)
People knew.
I've been sneaking alcohol in my lunch bag for months now, I put about a shot of vodka mixed into water bottles and squirt that flavor stuff in there. It's really good masking the smell I even drink it in front of my boss and he doesn't know but now it's getting out of hand. I used to drink 3 water bottles a day NOW it's 4 bottles and since we're working 10 hour shifts now I even carry a spare shot in my bag. I wouldn't do it if I wasn't gone from 6am to 7pm and my co-workers weren't so boring and barely speak English. It just makes my job just more tolerable but now it's like I get gastritis like once a week for a couple days it's killing me. I want to quit so bad.. pray for me you-all
I haven’t drank alcohol in almost 3 weeks, but I think about it almost every day.

@@TheManWithTheHat Thanks lad!
Stop taking it so seriously. It's not a big deal.
@@NwordOutward Alcohol is a very serious and big deal for a lot of people. I am sorry to hear that you feel differently.
Stick to the weed my guy 👍🏽
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
me too
They knew
If no one knew you wasn't an alcoholic and if you was working you wasn't an alcoholic
@@dondamon4669 gatekeeping addiction is pretty fucking stupid
Noone knew till you got sober.....?
That's bullshit 😆
I wish you all the best. My husband died a few months ago of Liver Failure due to alcoholism. He was 56.
Very sad 🌹
So sorry to hear this. My husband (65) lost his dad to a burst ulcer in the oesophogus, due to alcohol at age 55. So he bled to death. Due to that trauma we have never drank the stuff. My husband has already outlived his dad.
Im 58 my liver is dying too
✝️❤️
@@sleeper9152 what are your symptoms????
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.
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'm 2 years off it after being a chronic alcoholic for 25 years but I nearly died several times and it's a miracle I'm alive, choose life over death and don't put even one drink in your mouth again. Pray to God for help forgiveness. As the devil is totally behind alcohol addiction.
He can help you to an extent but at the ens of the day its up to you, stay strong
I want you to live. Be strong. Don’t give up. God got you.
is "sludge" a medical term?
We Alcoholics are the most creative when we try and hide alcohol. If only we put that use to something else.
Brother I went to rehab twice still struggle I started my car when I got back heard all clunking opened my hood and was hidden empties just keep trying I struggle everyday
alcoholics..... just use the term drug addict because thats just what all drug addicts do... and yes alcohol is a drug, and sry just tried to correct you a bit but not trying to come over as a asshole. just trying to tell you all addicts are good at lying and being creative if they have to
This! ❤👊
Said Steven in this video 😂 we alcoholics 🤦♂️🤦♂️
It’s not that hard tho, I just put vodka in my glass bottle and act like it’s water☺️
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 ❤
Happy boozing !
@@killy374yeeeeeee boi! Pour me tall one my man! ASAP! Cheers! 🍻 0
Coming right now lad, a pint for the night @@Handles-R-Lame
Yes, 28 days is absolutely an achievement when it comes to those who struggle with addiction, even just 1 day is an achievement. Yes, you have come so far!! Pull over and embrace the sunrise or sunset, take all of your life in, the beauty in it, and the courage and strength you have to resist that temptation. Healing is a wonderful journey is each step brings you closer and closer to your dreams and goals. So keep going, keep your chin up, your head held high and one foot in front of the other.. you've got this! I don't even know you and I believe in you:). Happy healing😁
Hope all is well gorgeous 🙏🏿🙏🏿
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!
I’m so proud of you. I wish my mom would get sober too. Blessings!
I hope she does as well. I know what it's like to have an alcoholic mom. It's heavy.
You're going to be ok,I promise, you can rise above it all.
Just never, ever risk falling into her patterns. Never.
@@naelyneurkopfen9741 Thank you for the kind words. I’m very blessed in that she wasn’t an alcoholic until I was around 18/19. While it’s rough, I’m so thankful for the many years or normal stability I had. I’m sorry to hear about your mom too. You’re right, we have to avoid any temptations to numb with substances. 💗
So you're just going to put your mom out there like that?
I'm so proud of you for not following the addiction. My mom was an alcoholic too and I know its very tough
@@NwordOutwardSorry to speak for OP, but absolutely. Having alcoholic parents can be a nightmare you can't wake up from. Sometimes you just gotta vent about it. My mom drinks and suffers greatly with health issues because of it. And as her caregiver, I frequently get to sit with my head in my hands while she suffers from it wishing she would stop. My dad used to drink as well. Key words - used to.
Sober 3+ years now - but when i was at my worst, I was living alone, and STILL hid my vodka lol.
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
Drugs are bad mkay
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.
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 !
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
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.
Hi, why do you need to hide So much😢? So you can be in a relationship with someone who does not know you ? Thanks it’s just a question to understand . 😊
@@hellosoleilstigma
Or handling withdrawals.
@@hellosoleil It’s hard to maintain a “normal” life if you’re an alcoholic, bc you tend to be irresponsible compared to the average person. It’s hard to hold down a full time job, pay necessary bills, and maintain some semblance of social functionality. Because you’re either drunk or hungover all the time. If you’re drunk, you run the risk of DUI, or never being able to go anywhere, and also all the terrible mistakes you can make while your inhibitions are lower, and if you’re hungover, you’re physically ill, which makes getting anything done almost impossible. So you end up cancelling plans with friends and family, you end up calling out of work, your living space usually becomes a disaster zone, and usually by the time most people in your life have figured out you have a problem, the problem is severe and requires a lot of professional help to fix.
@@anjelica948 thanking you for your reply. It’s sad. And they could be from family who are similar and let them fall
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.
I was addicted to heroin and fentanyl… different hats, you know? I have mad respect for you man! 2 years clean myself, good to see you putting that energy to good use!
Im sober 24 hours 😢 its so hard.
Stay strong
Listen to or read Allen Carrs book. Amazing!!!!
Where you live? Some some herb boss
What detox hospital are you in? And if your not and your able to make comments and use your fingers then you are not alcohol dependent
24 hours sober to!
"nobody ever knew"
Everyone knows. It's on your breath, you're drunk. Thinking no one knows is the worst lie you can tell yourself. Don't get comfortable.
Exactly
@@Manos-de-Piedra yea I think it's better to be honest if possible it's better for those around you and yourself.
@@NwordOutward were you an alcoholic?
@ability_group7403 he doesn't need to have been. He just needs to have known one.
@@Manos-de-Piedra I am an alcoholic
Congratulations Steven. I’m so happy that you made it and are living life again. There’s nothing sweeter than breaking the chains that held you captive. I hope you lead a rewarding and peaceful life.
Yes! Thank you!
Cograts on having the bravery to share. I am a just over a thousand days sober and am so much happier.
Note to my fellow alkies who are still on the drink: You're not hiding it. Disguise the evidence all you want; your pores and breath don't lie.
Learned that lesson by losing 3 jobs for smelling like a bar everyday
I'm coming up 3 years sober . I've been sleeping terrible lately but all good. By the grace of God I'm sober today,employed,married have food and shelter thank you God.
I have alcoholic sensitivity. My dad was an alcoholic. I find that if I drink one, my body calls for another, then another, and then another and so on. I don't like the taste of alcohol but I like the taste of beer. Thankful I'm aware of this and only drink from time to time while out to eat with the family, and that helps. Other than that, I stay away from it. Congrats on your sobriety, sir ❤
I still put vodka in water bottles, and pour a mouthwash bottle out and fill it up with voka or white rum and drop a bit of blue food colouring in , no one gussed that one, especially on short holidays .
I also used to hide small plastic bottles in my make-up bag.
Or after a party id use a spirit bottle so they thought it was still full but id switch it with water.
Sober now i hope people look for thinks like this so they can help their partner get help, but please dont be mad at them ! Or they will hide it even more .
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.
What a ingenious idea, in going to try it with gravy
Wishing you success on your journey and your honesty is awesome.. the best way the handle the dark is to flip on a light 💋
Thank you so very much.
Fair play to you mate. Keep strong and well done for overcoming addiction. I still have a long way to go but your honesty is really inspiring.
Glad your sober sir
I can just imagine your working an office job and a coworker comes in and catches your drinking vodka out a fuel can. “No no it’s not what it looks like it’s just vodka” lol
That's funny 🤣🤣🤣
Good for you brother! Being honest and transparent can be tough. Been sober for almost 3 years and it's the best thing that ever happened to me. I found its liberating to lift the weight off our spirits. Pun intended 😅 AA didn't work for me but therapy and 🍄 did. Anyways, whatever works for you run with it. We're all different, there isn't a singular fix all. Much love for you and the energy you bring
Sending you so much love & light! My husband is a alcoholic & while he is way better then before, he only drinks 2 days a week now, he still needs to stop completely. Thanks for sharing & being vulnerable. ❤
Thanks for sharing!!
@@TheManWithTheHat No, Thank YOU for sharing, For being vulnerable with us & wanting to help others.
I only drink on days that end with the letter “y”
@@firstlast8258 That’s ok, I use to, too. We don’t judge here 😘
That is significant progress!
I don't know you but Im proud of you.
I used to hide my vodka in 2 travel-sized laundry detergent bottles that I had found. They were shaped like a flask and laid flat. I'd always wear knee high socks to work and stuff them on the inner part of my calf. If sneak away to the bathroom every couple hours to stop the shakes. Each bottle held about 3 shots.
Thanks for the tip, I'm an alcoholic 🍾🍷🍸🍹🍺
@@jay-lm4we Good luck! 😂🍻 I assume you're joking. If not, all I can say is that life doesn't have to be as hard as your making it. Sobriety is freedom.
I did the same thing for years, brother. Stay strong and thank you for your encouragement and positivity!
Very proud of you! Thanks for being so open. Almost two years sober and come from a long line of alcoholics.
word up brothaa!!!
been struggling for 8 years myself... you're page is very inspirational to me.
love you man
I was watching your metal detecting videos way before I knew the whole story. Sobriety was your best find ever.
That’s a lovely thing to share. Thank you
As a man who hides cans of steel reserve in a bush, I can sympathize
I used to hide my natties in my plants.
I have been a drug addict and alcoholic my whole life. Drugs came first, alcohol being the fall back. Anyway, long story short I am 38 now and finally made it off all opiates and pills..etc. I am now 1 month of suboxone and kratom. Still drinking alot, hoping to quit that next.❤
31 years old here, finally got back to AA after being off the wagon for 8 months or so. And it's absolutely correct what I was told, not one person has ever came back into AA and said "eureka, I've found a better way to drink that doesn't bring all the mayhem"...It got worse for me, addiction in general wants to isolate you from everyone and everything. It got to the point that I was starting to drink vodka all by myself in my house when I was really a pub drinker. For the first time in all my adult life, I've actually had my face in my pillow asking god to help me in relieving this pain, and I wouldn't consider myself religious.
Alcoholic here. Feels so good.
I'm drinkin right now!
Mine was always to hide in my binoculars. As im a nature person and love being outdoors, i often would carry with me 2 - 3 pairs of binoculars. I would unscrew the eye glass and fill it up with Vodka. Worked every time.
I was a weed addict all through my educational years. It was only after my final year at uni - I brought my weed in with me, I smoked it right by the library, lecturers knew, everyone knew. When you are honest with others you can be honest with yourself.
Well done! I was an alcoholic and an opiate addict, 15 years and I haven't felt the compulsion for either and can now enjoy the occasional drink, in fact I rarely enjoy it when I do now if I am completely transparent. And no more opioids.
I'm an alcoholic and these are good tips
Let me tell you, being sober is tremendous, really tremendous. I mean, nobody does sobriety like I do, believe me. It's huge. I've been sober for a long time, folks, and let me tell you, I've seen the benefits firsthand. People come up to me all the time, they say, "Donald, how do you do it?" And I say, "It's easy when you're the best at everything, including staying sober." So, being sober, it's fantastic, it's incredible, and it's making America great again, believe me.
This is so amazing to see, you seem like a lovely person 😊 wishing you all the success in your sober future 🎉
Yooooo you earned a sub in me. Ty so much for your honesty. I was an alcoholic for 15 yrs and the hiding spots were never ending. A few times my son accidentally drank my wine Gatorade, I felt horrible. That made me cut back for a while.
Well done. I’m very proud for you. And thanks for sharing with me and everyone else 🥰🥰
Wel done for your honesty. Alcohol has harmed many lives. Thank you for showing us the other side.
Wish u nothing but the best glad to hear you are in a better place in life ❤
Sobriety rules
I’ll drink to that 🍻
@@firstlast8258 have one for me
I’m 20, and currently an alcoholic. Even though my parents know I have an alcohol problem, I still hide it. I always choose to go up to the liquor store when they aren’t home, or pretend I am going out to take pictures when they are home. I always feel guilty. I am slowly lowering my intake.. I am hoping I will be sober soon.
Thank you for sharing your truth!
It will help many people, including myself❤
You’re a legend Stephen - keep it up ❤
A guy I used to work with did stuff like that and had some very creative hiding places. Unfortunately his addiction got worse, he got fired and when he could no longer afford to buy alcohol he went into withdrawals and died. He was only 42
My father is alcoholic. So was his dad, mom, and my uncle has been to rehab 20x. My dad would tell me stories about my uncle pouring down a whole bottle for breakfast. He said “vodka because you cant smell it”.. couple years later i brought my dad some where and he insisted that i drive. No problem. Till i pullled up and it took him 5 minutes to walk to the car. When he got in his eyes were glassed over and i could see it. Broke my heart. He doesnt drink in social settings but hes rippping that bottle behind closed doors for sure
Hi, Im getting to know a man, after 3 times now seeing him drink I believe he has a problem. It's very hard cause I don't know what to do cause I care about him.
Two hands and only one mouth
Run and don't look back
did u get confused and think tic toc is AA?
"putting that crearivity to good use" Good job man. Bravo.
My uncle when he was an alcoholic wasn’t trying to hide it so much because you would find Jose Cuervo Tequila bottles empty in the pantry a lot .
He gave up smoke and drink to live long to be with his wife and son .
Rooting for you! ❤
Thanks for showing us how to be alcoholics
My dad was a chronic alcoholic. He was also extremely arrogant, and the two almost always leads to death and destruction. He died 2 years ago from cancer caused by his alcoholism
I came to TikTok to get sober?
Good luck Steven.
Wishing you the very best. My drink of choice is also vodka. I’ve been sober for 19 days in the past 3 years. It’s been rough. You got this
Keep up the good work I'll be praying for your strength, 🙏🏽💪🏽🤗
Sending you strength. You got this. It was extremely difficult the first couple days, then very difficult up until the first week. Up until two weeks I still couldn't get it out of my mind. Then it started to ease up from there and I started to think about other things, by the 1-2 month mark, it had just become a whisper. 6 months sober now (longest ever in the last decade) and feel amazing, I'm literally more confident in social situations now as I'm not in a self-loathing, ashamed stupor. Only thing left now is... to get off the opioids. Did it before and have to do it again. Always had multiple demons around me.
Hello, why vodka? Stay strong
@@hellosoleilWhy not vodka? Lol! Used to drink a lot of it but I don't touch it now
@@lisacundiff8029 happy that you don’t touch it. Cause it’s strong ! And very bad for the Brain
God bless and wish you continued success my man. Godspeed.
The white spirits bottle was impressive. The amount of time I spent trying to find alcohol I had when drunk is substantial. Used to hide my booze under the trash bag in the garbage bin. Nobody looked there.
I used to walk around everywhere with what looked like bottled water. Of course, the contents were in fact vodka.
We are so happy for you!
Thank you so very much.
Speak for yourself
I'm just glad that there is parasocial communities for sobriety, I used to drink a gallon of beer a day at least, when I'd get paid beer was the first purchase I'd have made. But I've got an inkling that I could be living with undiagnosed alcohol related illnesses😂 hopefully my youngish age will be a good supplement to quitting alcohol to alleviate these symptoms (sorry for basically journaling in the comments)
Thanks for sharing 👍👍
Quitting is for quitters
Thanks for giving alcoholics 2 more places to hide their stash 👍🏻
Good bro! I’m proud of you! This truly is helping me
Going to TikTok to get sober is like going from heroine to crack.
Are you REALLY that stupid or just trying to get attention
TikTok is for attention whores like you.
You're a sad sad person 😒

Pro Tip. Put Vodka in a Vinegar Bottle. If someone sees you drinking a bottle of Vinegar, they'll just think your crazy, not an Alcoholic. Also, a 25 oz Tall Boy can fits perfectly into a Big Gulp.
Why did you comment that garbage? 😐

Necessity is the mother of invention.
Not easy abstaining from alcohol.

Fantastic that you have taken the road to recovery.
Congratulations to everyone that is on the journey.
Sometimes you stumble but tomorrow is another day.
Never give up giving up.
It really is worth while.

In 7 days, i will be ONE YEAR SOBER. With not even 1 beer or glass of wine. Not even a drop of any alcohol at all and i was WILD for years... if i can do it, anyone can! You just have to WANT to quit. Good luck to all!
I’m an alcoholic too and it’s really affected my quality of life. Surprisingly I have no scarring on my liver, but I now have ulcers in my throat due to swigging straight vodka for years and I nearly died of blood loss the other week. Please seek help if you’re addicted.. I beg you. I lost my uncle and his varices burst ( they got patched, but he was too far gone for a transplant). I miss him every day and don’t want to end up like him. He was never aggressive, just obviously unhappy deep down and it’s heart breaking. I’m cheering for everyone fighting this illness ❤
I was the same being sneaky, mixing it in dilute juice and r drinking it out and about from bottles to literally just drinking it from the bottles and everyone could see. I regret those days as it’s a bad impression on kids and families etc.. be the better person and ditch it ❤
Been sober for for over 4 years with God’s grace and the help of fellowship. A lot of”days at a time”. Keep it simple.
Recovering alcohol here. I would use soda cans, juice bottles, tea bottles, containers to make it seem like I was drinking what was supposed to be in it but it was usually mostly filled with vodka or wine...
Two years sober from alcohol here (thank God). It's a new life
Thank you for sharing! Thank you for purely being transparent!!
A man takes a drink, the drink takes a drink, and then the drink takes a man
Those are pretty clever things. I'm not really sure if giving potential addicts ideas on how to hide alcohol is the greatest idea, but you do you. Great job!!! On the sobriety.
Absolutely love your honesty!
I appreciate that!
I’m two days sober. Feeling great today! 😎
Having an alcoholic Mom, I know a thing or two abt it. One thing, alcoholics think ppl don’t know they’ve been drinking but they do. Her secret drinking was NEVER a secret. Alcohol breath quickly fills a room or vehicle. Glassy, bloodshot eyes, slurred speech, moody behavior makes it all very obvious. Congrats on your sobriety. Unfortunately my mom never got sober and it took her life in a very physically painful death. If your struggling pls get help, u can change your life.
Isn’t it amazing how creative our desperate brains get! Congrats to you!
GOOD FOR YOU STEPHEN❤
Im 37 never drank saw what my dad did to my mum and ive embarrassingly always been terrified off alcohol when someone drinks next to me I cant help it I shake with fear when I smell it I get taken back to my childhood I know I'm an adult and thats the oast but the mental fear which turns to physical terror has just stayed with me. Good for you getting sober my friend 👍😎
Congratulations for getting sober and I love the creativity and stuff you make!
Thank you so much!☺️ I
Congratulations! You should be so proud of yourself! I lost my dad quite a few years ago and he was the most high functioning alcoholic person I’ve ever known. If he hadn’t been a drinker he might still be here. Anyway, pat yourself on the back for me!
I was an alcoholic at 17 when I joined the military academy and learn how to take the seal off perfectly to mouthwash and put blue food coloring and vodka in my mouthwash bottle instead of actual mouthwash.
I could find a hundred hiding places in an empty room...almost. I had lots of hiding places. In the folds of a blanket on the quilt rack, bottom of the laundry hamper (I did the laundry--no danger there). Had a couple of good places for something small and flat, like money, a gram, or an illicit love letter. Gave up all that nonsense 16 years ago. Grateful daily that I don't have to live like that any more.
This was the greatest post I’ve ever watched on CZcams poor guy lmfao
Sobriety is Awful...Cheers 🍺
So brave, my guy❤ I used to slice open the lining of my purses to hide drugs and paraphernalia. Humans all have alot in common:) Same joy. Same pain.
Congratulations! I quit years ago, and have never looked back.
ive stopped drinking 6 beers ago..
I'll never look back to my bud to feel light ...
