It's 12:32 PM here and my roommate is so blitzed that he can barely stand up. He came home about an hour and a half ago, grabbed a shower, and packed up his laundry for the laundromat. He left again just a few minutes ago and couldn't even walk in a straight line, and it was even worse as he tried to walk with a duffel of dirty laundry tossed over his shoulder.

In all honesty, I cannot understand the desire nor the need to be so drunk. And I find it odd that he is so afraid of being alone, yet he spends a vast amount of his time all by himself drinking and being drunk.

It's like a very slow suicide.
 
I can understand getting smashed every so often, but when it becomes a regular habit, perhaps you should bring it to his attention (when he's sober of course). I don't really know what else I'd suggest, my roommates out of college were like this too.

I didn't care for these people so I said nothing and they continued their nightly drunken binges. I guess, if you really do care about his health/or just him in general, bring it to his attention.
 
I've never understood drinking at all in the first place. I've never even tasted an alcoholic beverage in my life, which is considered weird by other people in my age group I guess.

I've had co-workers and classmates who consider getting "fucked up" every week end is a good time, which makes no sense to me.
 
Did he just get back from working an early shift? I don't know anyone who gets drunk in the middle of the day in the middle of the week?
 
Be a friend and have a talk with him about the drinking when he's sober. Don't be confrontational, but friendly. Sounds like he has problems that he thinks the drinking is solving, but it's not!! It will only get worse.

it is a slow suicide and i know that he must want to die, because that's the way i was feeling just a few months ago. i used go to sleep hoping that i wouldn't wake up the next day. i can feel the despair he must be going through. the need for friends, but wanting solitude and the shame and hopelessness he must feel.

i don't know why i had to drink. it's something i'm trying to figure out now. and i doubt that you'll ever understand the desire to drink.

he needs help.......i would tell you take him to an AA meeting but he needs more help. he probably needs to go to a treatment centre and if you want i'll pm you the one i went to. it saved my life.

good luck
 
That's fucked up !!

But funny.. not for u tho

Well, he's been doing it for the past 20 years. He hid it pretty well for the first few years, but he only imagines that it's been his secret for the past 15.

We've all done what we can including offering him help and refusing to be his enabler. He simply doesn't want to quit.

It's ironic, really. He really enjoys life when he's sober and is totally miserable when he's drunk. Whatever he thinks the booze is doing, it does the complete opposite.
 
I feel very bad for you that you have to deal with this, babe...

Alcoholics are a selfish, sad bunch. It gets to a point where the booze just makes them feel miserable, but they continue to do it anyway.

To borrow a line from Dr. Drew, "The definition of 'addiction' is continued use in spite of negative consequences"

Sound familiar ?

I'm sure that you have done all you can. Some people cannot be saved from themselves. Is there *any* way you can remove yourself from this situation ?

You are too special a person to be dragged through this shit over and over.

Of course you don't understand drinking, you've never had a drink. You're not going to understand anything if you haven't tried it or experienced something similar. That's just what the concept of understanding is all about, you have to have something to base it on. :wave:
