The same with me but, I got smart (yeah right) and started to make sure on Friday nights, that I bought enough booze (and mixer! God forbid I run out of mixer! I can't stomach hard liqour straight) that I knew I'd have at least enough to last me most of the rest day.

Sick.....just sick.

Very interesting thread. Technically, I never drank in the morning but as others have already pointed out, most of my mornings were a blur because my body was still processing the booze I drank the previous evening. I often wondered what would happen if I got pulled over driving to work in the morning. I was certain that my blood alcohol level was still high enough in the morning to get me nailed for a DUI. This really was insanity and I am so thankful to be on the mend.

Lots of honest posting here going on which is great. It's a difficult one and I remember not being able to face the day, many times and lying in bed as long as I could to avoid taking that first drink. Other times I might have drank til 5am. I can't remember specifically taking an eye-lifter but I still count myself as bad as anyone as my days were just anytime, and time didn't matter apart from off-licence opening hours!

When i was drinking,at the start i never drank before 6 in the evening, after 6 away i went and always ended up in late bars or nightclubs, parties etc till 3/4 maybe later,i often then went on to early houses(opened 6.30/7, then home .and then wouldn't drink till after 6 again, who was i fooling with my so called controlled drinking, eventually after many years i just drank the minute i woke up till i fell asleep again slaughtered.For years after i was drinking morning ,noon and night when ever i could or i couldent because i was to sick. its so ridiculous,& what a waste of a life.

UKblonde,

Interesting question. Just last night i drank to excess and woke up this morning (about 4am) panicked, cos i knew i wasn't sober and i am on a 0 condition on my license and can't afford to lose it. I used to do the whole 'weekend' thing and drink solidly for 2 days. That wasn't the problem though, cos i didn't have this insidious week day thing.

I regard still having alcohol in your system from the night before as different to waking up and having a top up. Primarily, because difference is psychological. Only a few times have i wanted to have a glass upon waking, but nevertheless, that thought worried me, as it indicated escalation in this whole process.

Not saying anything either way about anybody who has cracked a drink in the am, upon waking, but some of the times i desired to drink (and prob still do a bit) surprises me. Never did i think i would be pouring a glass of wine at 11am, but it's been done. I've come home from work at 11am adn wasted the whole day drinking. Disgusting really.

Morning, noon, and night here too, in the last 10 years. I'd sometimes wake up at 3/4 a.m. heart racing, sweating, anxious, etc. and hoping there was some drink left. Usually there was just enough to get me through to grog shop opening hour's at 9/9.30 a.m. If i didn't have any grog left, i'd lay in bed trying unsuccessfully to sleep to pass the time until morning opening hours. There i'd be some morning's, a red faced, unshowered, unkempt creature, nervous system shot to bit's through the sheer volume of alcohol intake, waiting pathetically around the corner from grog shop waiting for it to open to get my fix, trying not to look like the desperado i was. What a bloody waste indeed!

Best wishes all, G-bloke.

I think that you have hit the nail right on the head.
As I see it, 'morning drinking' means when you start your bit of the 24 hour cycle and where it ends. And then how it overspills into the others.
For me, personally, my day starts when I have to start interacting with people. Or worse with myself.
A month ago (before Baclofen), I woke up at 3am. So got up, put on Sky and made a breakfast and drank a bottle of red wine, before going back to bed at about 7am. Slept until 12. Then my 'day' started.
That's how I see it.
24 hours to bugger your life up in (probably) three 8-hourly segments.
I considered myself alcohol controlled if I didn't drink in one of those three segments.
Idiot.
Thank you for this thread. If I've got it wrong, I'm sorry. But that is precisely how I see it.

If you don't mind me asking, what on earth did you do for a living? how did you earn $? When did you get the chance to go to work?!

Just curious

I thought that this was a place where nobody asked personal questions.

My 'day' doesn't revolve around what work I do. It revolves around what I drink. I thought that that was what this thread was about.

Thank you Mario.

Simples, if I was drinking I wasn't working. Full Stop. Money?used sick pay from employer, credit cards, then got back into work again, had a partner help me at one point, saved up when I was able to work and spent it when I wasn't.
