You'd think working at a hospital and seeing the long term effects of alcoholism would stop me. Wife and I were going through a handle of rum every 3-5 days. She got pregnant and I was going through the same handle in the same amount of time so we "banned the rum". I switched to wine. I was then going through about 5 or so 1.5L bottles of wine a week.

Finally my wife started getting upset because of how much I was spending each week on wine and how much damage I'm doing to my liver. So I've agreed to stop drinking at night (or getting drunk by myself every night).

Now I'm trying to embrace just 1 or 2 glasses of wine per night and no more drinking after she goes to bed.

That alcoholism will creep up on you, bros. Once it gets to the point that you're drinking instead of doing things you know you're supposed to do...yeah.....that's when you know you have a problem.

Anyone else drink like....a LOT......yet never have hangovers, never had a DUI, don't get into fights, aren't divorced or incels, never been to hospital for GI bleeds or anything? Like....what stops you from drinking if anything? It's like I have this extra special enzyme that super-breaks-down alcohol and I wake up feeling fine. Even day drink often. I feel like the only thing that's gonna stop me from being a highly functioning alcoholic is either getting pulled over for "buzzed driving", getting into a wreck while "buzzed driving", or one day in my 40's just going the way that Kerouac went and my liver refusing to clot my blood and then vomit blood until I die.

Thanks, anon. The only thing I worry about as far as just trying to go "cold turkey" are the DTs and the associated seizures that can be deadly. I know this first hand because we'll get a patient admitted after a car wreck or something and by day 2-3 we're watching him to make sure he doesn't seize out and die from alcohol withdrawal syndrome. AWS is a deathly serious thing and that's why I feel like I have to wean myself off.

Part of my no-more-getting-drunk-at-night thing also included no more day drinking. So far, I'm 4 nights without drinking a drop, but here I am at 10:07am and I'm already two 9% IPAs in. My mind is telling me this is part of the "weaning to avoid DT's" strategy but I find my self-rationalization dubious.

Except that's my curse...there definitely is. I am a trauma/ICU nurse at a major hospital in the US. I work full time and I have saved people's lives the next morning after a heavy night of binge drinking. On the way home from the same shift, I'll stop by the liquor store and get nearly blackout drunk before waking up the next day, downing some black coffee, and showing up to work. I'm a badass nurse and I'm about to start school to get my NP. Alcohol doesn't impede my functioning at all and I'm doing very well in life....QED....highly functioning alcoholism exists for some.

Ya I had an employee that I really liked but he was in full denial about how functional he was. He was a good worker but he would show up feeling like booze and refuse to believe it when we told him. he wouldn’t get any sleep so he would start crashing mid day. Once in a while he would pass out in a chair and no one could wake him up because his brain shut his body down by force to rest. When he would REALLY go off the deep end he would sleep through all his alarms and miss work. He would constantly try and tell us he quit drinking but would show up with cuts and bruises on him where he had drunkenly fallen down his stairs. His own brother who worked for our sister company would always rat him out. He just tried to tell me last week he’d been clean for 7 months and then came stumbling into work yesterday barely able to walk and tried to tell me the smell of alcohol on him was his mouth wash.

Alcoholics have some of the most powerful denial I’ve ever seen and I seriously hope OP resigns from his job and gets help before he hurts someone in that hospital.
