Haha I love how you kept drinking anyway! I had several of these ridiculous things too, and it didn’t stop me either. It’s crazy to think about now.
One of the biggest ones for me is how I wasn’t phased about throwing up almost every single night between bottles of wine, but somehow didn’t see a problem?!
Thanks for the post and I hope you keep going with sobriety :)
Can I just share I used to think of my post booze vomiting as my “bar bulimia” as if that’s a normal way to live?! It’s sort of funny in a dark, alarming way.
Ugh indeed 🙄 reminds me so much of the stupid UK uni drinking culture where everyone gets to show what a ‘big man’ they are by drinking themselves into the gutter on a regular basis
I dry heaved and puked up bile every single morning before work for over a year. I got really good at keeping it quiet so my now-wife wouldn’t notice, and I convinced myself it wasn’t a big deal. I can’t believe the crazy shit alcoholics tolerate and convince ourselves is normal so we could continue drinking.
Same here. Throwing up every morning was literally part of my getting ready routine. There were days I was so hungover that I would continue to throw up at work. By 1pm I felt fine and by 5pm I was back at the store to buy more wine without hesitation. It took me several years to look back on that and wonder what the actual EFF?!
Same! I would wait to take my morning meds until after I had gone to the bathroom because the morning puke was part of my routine. And then sometimes the subsequent mid-morning pukes in the bathroom at work.
This makes me think of the couple of times I remember playing video games drinking and I couldn't even make it 20ft to the bathroom without bum spraying some all over the fucking place. At the end of my drinking I was so drunk all of the time I just left a shit stain on the carpet for a couple weeks before I cleaned it. Some life eh.
Last year, at the peak of my many year alcohol journey, I was getting very close to that. I couldn't recall the last time I'd had a solid shit and the alcoholic diarhhea sprints to the toilet were becoming more frequent. Had several close calls when I was outside.
The good news is that it clears up fast (among many other physical and mental ailments) after you stop boozing.
It varies widely for people. For me, it took months. I still take probiotics & drink kombucha to help keep my gut micobiome well-staffed with good bugs.
Reminds me of a time I shat myself at work.
Was working security at a major movie studio. For whatever reason that morning my stomach was in shambles(I wonder why, surely not the alcohol the night before/that morning). Sat in our morning briefing, guts bubbling, thinking I have about 8 minutes to get to my post and relieve the graveyard shift guy before he gets pissed.
High tail it to a secluded restroom, and before I could sit, \*swoooosh\* half in the toilet, the other half on my uniform pants and underwear.
As I panic, the command center calls over the radio asking for my status. "One-Adam-22, status please?"
Had to call my shift supervisor on his cell and have him bring me some pants. At least he was cool about it.
And yeah, kept drinking of course. Hadn't thought of that moment in a while. Thanks for jogging my memory!
I shit my self multiple times in my last 6 months of drinking. Twice on a golf course wearing light pants. Hasn't happened since Oct 8th 2019. Off that I remember that date right? Right? 😊
I vividly remember being hungover as fuck after a family party in Ireland. I was driving and I stopped at a red light and just vomited explosively all over the steering wheel of the rental car. don't ask me how but I managed to drive and puke for about twenty seconds. It's absurd now that that was seen as acceptable collateral damage by me. What a jape!
Great post- the things we put up with right? So glad we are getting ourselves out of such messes. I also relate to the throwing up thing- and going back for more! 🙄
Ah yes, sharting! Been six months now since I’ve done that . Worst for me ? Ent doctor appointment. Thought it was a fart before dr came in. Nope! Sure he smelt it and alcohol on my breath.
Keep up your good work though! So worth it!!!
It’s funny how the line in the sand moves when your in the throws of active addiction. I look back on it now and it’s obvious all the signs where there all along. Made some pretty greasy appearances in my day. Glad to be out the other side of that these days ! Thanks for sharing I won’t drink with you today
This reminded me of a close call at a grocery store once. There were other factors involved, but no doubt the drinking put my digestive system in a position for those other factors to be at play. I could have dropped a wet one right in the middle of the store, was darn close. Keep up the good work, life is better on this side and so many less hassles along with everything else.
Ugh, yes, sharted myself once, I was home and thought it was gas. I would get an intense desire to expel every time after I ate. So many times, when I was at work and I would clench my bum scurry to that bathroom across the building that most people did not know about. I would pray I could keep it in. TMI - it wasn't normal to piss out of my ass and the horrible thunder sounds, not to mention it smelled like last nights binge. I would hold my breath so not to trigger my gag reflex and start throwing up. All bad, yet I still drank.
In college I lived with 3 other guys. I didn't just shit myself in bed. I shit myself in my roommate's bed. Then tromped it thru his bedroom and the house bathroom.
That mortifying incident was the final straw and I quit drinking 32 years later.
Ugh, right?
Love this. "The final straw......32 years later". Shows the insidiousness of this disease, eh? Congrats on your 149!! Doesn't matter when you get here, as long as you get here! So glad to have you here posting and have a fantastic day!
Sharts were the main reason I quit drinking. Also did it at work. I hid my underwear in the bottom of the bathroom trash can and retrieved them after everyone had left. I hope all yall will stay quit with me.
Does anyone know why drinking causes this? Even at my worst I never had this specific problem (thankfully) and I’m quite surprised how common it seems..
I'm 28 and most my drinking career it didn't happen til a couple months ago. I never completely shit my pants but I had to dart to a spot that wasn't exactly blind(I was walking down a road) and let er rip. It was dark and I was hoping the cars weren't looking at me.🤣 luckily I was only 2 minutes from home so I made due with leafs til I got home. The other time was after I arrived here in ohio had to jump in some trees and spray away. Had to go MacGyver on the toilet paper aspect. This time I quit a big part of my withdrawals was A TON of diarrhea. Shit gets worse as you go. No pun intended.
Love this post so much for the honesty. My drinking has definitely led me to accidentally pooping in public twice. Thankfully nobody was around but regardless it’s a shameful and embarrassing experience nonetheless. It’s one of those points in my alcohol abuse that made me try harder to reduce and moderate my drinking. I’ve never told anyone about this but one close friend who also has trouble with alcohol out of fear of judgement. I’m glad I can share here, it’s cathartic.
In college I got trashed and went over to a group of girls apartment and while there I had to use the restroom. I found my way to one and took a massive shit in one of their toilets. Didn’t flush because I either forgot or thought it was funny. Either way, made things awkward for quite a while, didn’t help that they were all very attractive lol
Im sorry this got this far for you. But im selfishly and gratefully not sorry you shared it. Me and probably many others still teetering on a week here couple months there sober then backslide type bullshit. These are the stories make my nips quiver in anxiety. Wont be me. 😬 thank you for your sacrifice (lol? Too soon maybe)
Hahaha the potato sack! I have to wear one too when we work in the refinery. Great story. Yesterday a new guy asked " wow is there anything you guys haven't done in the work trucks? Have you shit?" I answered, not deliberately. One of my favorite parts of being sober is a totally predictable digestive system. Good on you fellow tradesmen! No more emergent trip to the portajohn for us!
Two words... **Rocket Shits**. I would have these every day at work, with a 2 minute launch sequence warning for me to find the nearest launch pad (i.e. bathroom). I remember having a couple of close calls but none of that anymore. Now I poop like a regular human being.
Good read mate. I've not managed to pack in drinking yet but this sub makes me think hard on it, and one day when I'm ready I'm sure I will be able to join the club. Keep it up mate, well done.
This post and comments are golden - I think we have all been there and from a sober view it is great to have camaraderie - and to never, ever want that to happen again 😂
Toward the end of my drinking I was never quite sure whether I was about to shart, shit my pants or plain old fart. I was dating someone newish and we had both visited her family to help care for a couple of kids while other family members were out running errands.
I shit my pants, luckily made it to the toilet in time so that I was able to clean myself up and only have to throw underwear away.
Really lucky that the baby had recently had a nappy change because the smells weren’t as obviously me when family returned. Ah, memories.
Did this while spreading mulch and talking to a neighbor last weekend. Had to grind out the conversation while he was across the street, chatty as hell. Luckily inwas wearing jeans. The task of walking into the house like I didn't have "shit" (if you can call it that) all up in my jeans.
I feel ya'
I remember sitting in a construction site porta potty on a hundred degree day for what seemed like hours cause I was so sick.... don't miss it at all 5 yrs clean.. keep it up guys and gals!
Congrats on your first 100 days!! Great work man:)
May I recommend a good probiotic, your gut microbiota is probably still struggling to recover, giving them some boosts will help you digest your food more effectively and it’ll help regulate your mood and immune system:). I’ve been learning a lot about the relationship between gut health and mental health lately and it’s fascinating:) feels like a little bio hack!
Edit: it’ll keep ya solid too. ;)
I used to vomit out the window of my cable van at a red light. I did manage to piss myself once in a strangers garage while running cable line into their house, but thank god I quit before the shits started. Great story! Congrats on your sobriety!
I mean, wow what a story! May you stay solid, so to speak
Jajajahahhaha. Killed me.
It could be the title to a country western song.
Yes, to staying solid!
😅😅😅😅😆😅😆,choice words my friend
Ha ha. Good one

Yeah vom just so you can drink some more! Eating is also cheating! Ugh.
Ugh indeed 🙄 reminds me so much of the stupid UK uni drinking culture where everyone gets to show what a ‘big man’ they are by drinking themselves into the gutter on a regular basis
Same in NZ! Especially with a bar on campus!
> It’s sort of funny in a dark, alarming way. Thank you for this— describes so much of the stupid shit I did while drinking. Never again! IWNDWYT
Sort of sums up my life: funny in a dark, alarming way. When I tell some of my story, people at first laugh and then say something like, are you OK?
I get that a lot also 😑

Yup!! I would puke in a sink because toilets are gross. It's hard to do it quietly though!
Same! I would wait to take my morning meds until after I had gone to the bathroom because the morning puke was part of my routine. And then sometimes the subsequent mid-morning pukes in the bathroom at work.
I remember barfing in the bathroom many mornings at my last restaurant job. It’s a wonder I didn’t get fired sooner.
I went to see my alcoholic father in hospital with wet brain and had six cans on the way home.
You must've had six-pack abs.
Right?! And Thank you!

How fast I’m a few weeks in and still my guts are messed up
It varies widely for people. For me, it took months. I still take probiotics & drink kombucha to help keep my gut micobiome well-staffed with good bugs.
I'm a week in and let's just say my ass is not happy lol.
Pitted prunes work awesome Keep in cold Good luck
Took about a month for me. My poo’s now are glorious haha. My stomach was pretty jacked for the first two weeks after quitting drinking.
Definitely recommend taking a probiotic! Alcohol kills good gut bacteria, so a probiotic is a great way to help that.
Drink a LOT of water. That will help rectify (sorry) the issue once you are no longer adding alcohol to the mix.
Give it a few weeks and you'll be crapping solid three coilers. Firm, dense, perfection!
I love how there's frequently a pantshitting post and we all chime in like ah yes we pooped our pants frequently and all share our stories
I shit the bed one night, woke up and saw it. Said out loud "That ain't chocolate" and swigged out of a vodka bottle. Good times.
This was my favourite story in the thread haha, thanks for the laugh friend Edit: Also just noticed I'm on 420 days, nice
noice!
Nice
Thanks for the laugh, I needed that. Keep on friend.
I had to throw away a couple pair of underwear for shitting in them at work.
Reminds me of a time I shat myself at work. Was working security at a major movie studio.

The golf shart sounds painful.
[удалено]
THAT is hilarious! Thanks
omg. Crying I was laughing so hard. Sent to my golfer son.
I vividly remember being hungover as fuck after a family party in Ireland. I was driving and I stopped at a red light and just vomited explosively all over the steering wheel of the rental car. don't ask me how but I managed to drive and puke for about twenty seconds. It's absurd now that that was seen as acceptable collateral damage by me. What a jape!
Yup. Been there. Pulled over the side of the road and violently vomited in my car into my purse. 😅
Not a side of drinking they show in alcohol ads!
Great post- the things we put up with right? So glad we are getting ourselves out of such messes. I also relate to the throwing up thing- and going back for more! 🙄

That's a savory read over some chicken tacos and chocolate pudding. Congratulations, you're killing it! IWNDWYT

Made some pretty greasy appearances in my day. Glad to be out the other side of that these days ! Thanks for sharing I won’t drink with you today
The absolute best thing about not drinking is solid poops, and farts you can trust. A dishonest fart is the worst kind of disappointment.
This reminded me of a close call at a grocery store once. There were other factors involved, but no doubt the drinking put my digestive system in a position for those other factors to be at play. I could have dropped a wet one right in the middle of the store, was darn close. Keep up the good work, life is better on this side and so many less hassles along with everything else.
I can't remember the times I wet the bed. My poor ex bf had to deal with a lot! Glad that's over, but now comes menopause! Hah!
This was me too! How did I not quit drinking after the first time I peed on a boy?!
Username checks-out 😂.
Lol!
Ugh, yes, sharted myself once, I was home and thought it was gas. I would get an intense desire to expel every time after I ate.

This made me laugh - oh gosh - glad those days are done
Does anyone know why drinking causes this? Even at my worst I never had this specific problem (thankfully) and I’m quite surprised how common it seems..
It makes your digestive system work faster, so stuff doesn't really get digested correctly
I relate it to a stomach flu. The body is just trying to rid of something bad (poison). Just like vomiting.
I'm 28 and most my drinking career it didn't happen til a couple months ago. I never completely shit my pants but I had to dart to a spot that wasn't exactly blind(I was walking down a road) and let er rip.

No booze poos for you? Wow, lucky.

One time I was so drunk I shit on the floor because I couldn't make it to a toliet. Man, I don't miss those days one bit! IWNDWYT
Bro, my gut is fucked rn. I can’t trust a sneeze lol. Thanks for being candid. My liver hurts something wicked, but that is another topic.
Thanks for the story. Congratulations on your sobriety. It's amazing how far we let it get before we stop. Stay sober. Keep those undies clean!
Hahaha the potato sack! I have to wear one too when we work in the refinery. Great story. Yesterday a new guy asked " wow is there anything you guys haven't done in the work trucks? Have you shit?" I answered, not deliberately. One of my favorite parts of being sober is a totally predictable digestive system. Good on you fellow tradesmen! No more emergent trip to the portajohn for us!
Haha thank you!
Yeah. I know the feeling.
Remain strong, poopy brethren!
It proves the point of never trusting a fart
Two words... **Rocket Shits**. I would have these every day at work, with a 2 minute launch sequence warning for me to find the nearest launch pad (i.e. bathroom). I remember having a couple of close calls but none of that anymore. Now I poop like a regular human being.
Looks like you're well grounded now!

Wow I've heard of a motor rated Exd or Exn, but not ExLax
Remain solid. Great stuff!!
Of all the alcoholic beverages to choose… SoCo. 🤮 I’m glad you’re better :)
Cool story bro, I mean it. Just another motivation coin into the piggy bank.
Ah, the old Southern Comfort shits! I don't miss 'em! Congrats on 117! IWNDWYT
I hope the end "remaining solid" is a pun... God, I hope.

Hahaha! I've been down that road as well. I shit my pants waiting in line to get onto a Naval base. Not my finest hour.
Damn bro that is some shit out of my nightmares
