The BEST CHEF, CARMY AND ALCOHOLISM

I really don't like posting about alcoholism in relation to the Bear, because it's so serious and means turmoil and not the best happy ending. But we know all the characters are one person anyway, just with different roles. Denial, chaos, determination to change, good work ethic etc.

The show runners use a lot of addiction terminology and imagery to show you what's happening, while not directly showing Carmy drink. Maybe they will show it in season 3

They show little or no accountability. They may have had integrity before their addiction kicked in but it will be conspicuously absent from their lives as they spiral.

There is often one exception to this rule for each alcoholic – one thing they do especially well and it will most generally be their sole source of self esteem.

We have known a large number of alcoholics who have incredible work ethics because being a good worker is the one thing they know they’re good at…well, they will say that and drinking.

I KNOW : CARMY AND ALCOHOLISM

The show runners use obvious terminology related to alcoholism in the show and Carmy is the one saying them.

They also give you the imagery to show you what's going on.

They don't show Carmy drinking because a lot of functioning alcoholics drink secretly.

When people decide to stop drinking we encourage them to notice that “It” is actually, “Me.” This is evident in, “It’s not worth it.”

On some level the alcoholic always knows the truth and they are usually working hard not to know lt.

CHAOS AND THE BEAR AND ALCOHOLISM

The show runners put in a lot of recovery and non recovery terminology in the show.

I really don't like posting about it because it's so serious and means turmoil and not the best happy ending

Especially for sydcarmy.

But I gotta call it if I see it.

Firehouse Management

Putting blinders on a horse leaves it with no peripheral vision – such is the worldview of the alcoholic.

They may attend to many things, but in order to do so they must turn their attention away from one thing and toward another.

Multitasking for the alcoholic means making many messes at once. There is no balance for the active alcoholic.

As this happens, another part of their life declines and gradually their life becomes dictated by “firehouse management” – every course of action becomes based on the most pressing problem.

As one area of their life declines they will often focus their attention on it and take it to an extreme.

This is an inevitably downward spiral, though some alcoholics manage to maintain it for a very long time.

MAYBE and PROBABLY AND THE BEAR AND ALCOHOLISM

I really don't like posting about alcoholism in relation to the Bear, because it's so serious and means turmoil and not the best happy ending. But we know all the characters are one person anyway, just with different roles. Denial, chaos, determination to change, good work ethic etc.

Using the words maybe and probably to avoid accountability

"Probably"

Alcoholics are the very best liars because they are able to use rationalization and justification to convince themselves that a lie is truth. This happens subconsciously. They are not aware that they are, if you’ll pardon the term – mind screwing themselves.

Alcoholics adopt a language that facilitates lying in a way that sounds very well intentioned. Their favorite word is, “probably.” This word implies intention where in fact none exists. An alcoholic who tells you they will probably do something is highly unlikely to do it.

Using words like these provides them a loop hole – an escape hatch in which no absolutes are given and no promises made. The alcoholic relies on words and phrases like: possibly, maybe, would, could, should, I’d like to, I want to, I need to.

These words mean nothing. They sound good but almost always lead to disappointment. Progressively, alcoholism blurs every line and impacts every interaction, every relationship, every part of the alcoholic’s world.
