(By the way, I want to say you guys are so funny. I have never laughed so much whileing on a forum or instant messages. You guys are witty. Who says you get worse with age?)

You said that you got caught drinking and had to stop, then a few posts later you said "if I got caught drinking." It implies that you hadn't been caught when you say you had...so which is right, did you get caught or didn't you?

Yeah, I enjoy the forum for that too. Some of these people are pretty damn clever.

Aging like a fine wine...at least that's my story and I am sticking too it!

Ahh, sorry gang - I'm gonna have to break ranks on this one.

CanofCoke, provided your story about the sadly departed student checks out, you will have my apologies, and I will vote to have your rank reinstated.

However...we here at the BRHF are seasoned internet veterans who have seen no small amount of - well, I will call them "Big ol' whoppin lies" - passed around the internet over the years. Anything looks funny, we do our homework.

Dont blame me for your incorrect inferrances. I said the "if" merely for the situation I was talking about. You took it out of context. I was just trying to express what would happen if my mom found out. Thank you, I am set to go. I rock.

The thing is you said your mom did catch you, what did she do when she did. My mom is cool about all that stuff, but like Bio, if I am sneaky, she gets cranky. But sometimes I am affraid to tell my mom everything because of the punishment. I think a lot of the times I will tell her a year later and laugh cause she can't or won't do anything (for the most part). My mom and I talk all the time. I tell her about all my problems and worries and even when I am upset at my friends for doing stupid things, i.e.-if they skip or do drugs. I know she won't rat my friends out, she trusts me to make the best decision on my own.

Thats cool that you and your mom have that relationship. The best "close" relationship I have is that on this forum. People dont need to hear other peoples problems unless they choose to.

Anyways, my mom doesnt trust me to this day. I call her at work right when I get home, cant go with friends she doesnt know, etc. It sucked. I was embarrassed. But I knew I was bound to get caught. I was drinking nearly everyday and despite brushing my teeth or whatever, you could still smell it in my pores. It sucks getting caught.

It's sucks getting caught for anything you do wrong. But at the same time, at least for me, it is a weight off my shoulders. And if you ask me if I am lying, and I want your trust I will tell you the truth. Just ask me if I am lying, and I will be like n-yes. LOL I always answer like that.

(Because of what mudflap said) It is true, for a while I did start losing my friends, and my best ones too. (Painted, you know who I'm talking about.) Anyways, do you think it's right that someone stops becoming your friend because of a habit you do even if it doesnt effect them, such as I never drank around them or was around them after I drank.

When you have a addiction you yourself don't notice the changes, but the people around you do.

From what Ive read, an addict needs to drink so I didnt have an addiction. And without that, I'm sure I couldnt of changed. That was why I didnt care too much about what others thought, it didnt effect them but they were still basing something like our friendship on something like that[/i]

Nobody needs to do the addictive substance. It's that they want to, it's what they think about, and soon they will move that to their #1 priority. Do you know what it is like living with an alcoholic, or having somebody close be an alcoholic?

canofcoke · Post by **canofcoke** » Tue Mar 29, 2005 10:47 pm

No, but I think thats irrelavent. Ive chosen not to become an alcholic and I wont. I know you may say it's not that simple, but if I want something, I do it. I dont want to become an alcoholic so I wont.

Hi! My name is Mindy, welcome to DENIAL. I'll be your server tonight.

It is not that easy...as Mudflap said denial. Plus it clouds judgement, and you realize you want it so bad that you'll do a lot for just a little.

I'm reading through the posts and I realize how much I miss drinking

canofcoke · Post by **canofcoke** » Tue Mar 29, 2005 10:55 pm

lol, but see, like Ive said. This is how I see it. Ive already been down the path and it was ok, why should I expect different this time? And I do miss drinking. But I miss going miniture golfing and ice skating too, if you get what I mean.

Painted · Post by **Painted** » Tue Mar 29, 2005 10:59 pm

Yeah, but miniture golfing and ice-skating are not addictive, you may like it, but there is no chemical addiction. I don't think you have actually been addicted to anything, because if you have, you would realize how hard it is to quit. It's not just a matter of saying, I am not an alcoholic and then you aren't one. You have to take progressing steps.
