View Full Version : Siavash ''I'm a recovering Alcoholic''

Seems Siavash has set out his stall for the ''Sob Story Stakes''
Siavash told the housemates that he is a recovering alcoholic.
The group were relaxing with a number of alcoholic drinks last night after Freddie's departure from the house when the conversation turned to who was the biggest drinker in the house.
Siavash admitted that before he entered the house he used to have a drink every day.
"I drank the most on the outside," he admitted. "I drank every night because I worked in a club. I had to sort it out. I had a real problem, but I sorted it."
Lisa pushed the point and asked him directly if he used to have a drinking problem.
Siavash then nodded his head, saying: "And I'm the one person who never fights over alcohol in here."
He has no problem drinking in the house so he can't be that bad. If he was a genuine alcoholic he wouldn't as much as sniff a drink.
I want to like Siavash again but I'm finding it really hard atm

Recovering alcoholics can't touch a drop! He doesn't strike me as someone struggling with addiction or compulsion.
He has an extraordinary ability to down one here and there without the appearance any real cravings. Glad he was able to stop the drinking spiralling out of control

Why does eviction night bother him so much? Everynight its on he has his fingers stuck in his ears...Watch last night when Davina said ''Big Brother House this is Davina'' and the camera scans the 2 sofas, theres no sign of Siavash, then the camera pulls away and there he is on the floor with his hands over his ears .

He only did that yesterday.
He was about to lose one of his best friends, even though one doesn't even like him (MARCUS.)
I thought him worrying about his friends was cute.

Enlighten us all, what problems can you have with alcohol that doesn't involve you being an alcoholic?

You can have a drink problem without being an alcoholic. People who drink too much because of the lifestyle they lead can be affected by it to the point it becomes a problem. That doesnt make them addicted to alcohol or alcohol dependant...

Having a problem with alcohol, and being an alcoholic are two very different things.

If you have any problem with alcohol even if its down to lifestyle, then at best you're a mild alcoholic otherwise you could just knock it on the head, and hence you wouldn't have a problem.

Well said. I have friends who are alcoholics, and have been sober for years, and i also have friends who drink heavily but can reign it in and drink every so often without it being problematic again. There's a HUGE difference.
Siavash said he drank too much, not that he was an alcoholic. Sophie behaves like an alcoholic. She cannot stop once she starts until it's all gone.

Being an alcoholic means you NEED a drink to get through the day.
Having a problem with alcohol could just be that you drink too much...which seems to be what Siavash is saying, working in a club, he drank all the time.

Gordon bennet is this forum growing dickheads this week. Feeling that you may be drinking too much, especially as you work in a field where drinks are part and parcel of the industry you are in, isnt a bad thing, nor is it admitting to alcoholism.
Lits of people have a variety of problems with alcohol, without them being alcoholic. for example you have the instant ass hole, just add alcohol, doesnt have to be habitual or excessive. My problems with alcohol include the fact I have two hands and only one mouth.
Many people who are on the road to becoming alcoholics, realise the effects of their lifestyle and use of alcohol and reduce their intake of alcohol and frequency of intake. That doesnt mean they are alcoholics, just they dont want to become one.
Alcoholism - habitual excessive consumption of alcohol. The person who works through the week , no probs then on a weekend goes heavy on the sauce, - the weekend bender, technically an alcoholic.

What you say is spot on, but if he could control it then he didn't have a problem in the first place. Its weird he drunk at work too, where I've worked at bars if you're found drinking on the job you were sacked on the spot.

Alcohol problems are a bit more complex than not having a problem if he can control it.
Some employers give a little leeway with socialising whilst on the job, anyways who is to say he wasn't his own boss?
Because we would've heard about his bar/when he was a manager by now

bullshit, he probably thinks if he has two WKD's instead of usually one, then thats alcoholism. He is a fool.

I agree, he has played them all (HM's and Viewers) and people are too dumb to see it ...well apart from few people on here and Marcus :-/

Its charlie who is playing more for they sympathy vote, his mother was mentioned quite a bit last night, plus he wound roddy up, just so he could do all the 'poor me' stuff again.
Someone pointing in your face doesnt hurt. Much exaggerated.

Typical of this forum - one little comment always gets blown out of all proportion! Some dramatic twit - always puts their own exagerrated definition to it - attempting to portray it as fact - to create an 'interesting' thread!

It was reported on DS as him admitting to be a recovering alocholic so that's not really the OP's fault.
Siavash is just being attention seeking as always. If you can stop drinking at any moment that's not a problem and if you physically can't go without a drink then that's being an alcoholic. It would have been more appropriate for him to just say I was drinking too much and it probably wasn't good for me instead of him being all melodramatic and saying he had a 'problem' because that obviously has connotations of alcoholism.

Rodders poked Charlie in the face this morning, walked away then went back and done it again, then later he said I will do worse if i come over there again.
Thought all violence and threats of violence are frowned upon in the house, oops of course i forgot unless you are the BB favourite HM.
Would be fun if charlie wound rodders up in the kitchen as rodders was cutting bread or something!

What he said was that he drank most nights and it was beginning to become a problem.....
He nevers said anything about being an alcoholic.
It wasn't in anyway a sympathy vote...:cloud:

I watched lf and what he said was that he was drinking Jack Danials every night and realised he was drinking too much so he sorted it out 6 months before going into the house, It was a 2 minute segmant and in no way said as someone seeking sympathy more to do with the fact drink was stolen again in my opinion.
This was all over a report by someone on DS who incorrectley reported that he was a recovering alcholic which Siavash never said:mad:

He is not an alcoholic.
He said he had a problem drinking too much. He would find it difficult to be an events manager and drinking every night.
He has shown no problem taking one drink and leaving it at that. He is very lucky to have changed his behaviour before his body became addicted to alcohol and caused liver damage.

Have to agree with most on here. Having been married to an alcoholic and knowing the signs, there is no way that Siavash could stop at one or two cans. A recovering alcoholic does not drink otherwise they are still drink dependant

I didnt think much of Rodrigo, until now.
I thought it was brilliant, and again showed charlie up for the fake that he is, he blatantly wound the situation up, and then tried the poor me approach to it, "I did nothing wrong".
Also liked how he threw water on charlie, as charlie did this to angel in the early weeks, for no reason whatsoever. Charlie is getting a taste of his own medicine.
I love it :cheer2:

what the hell are you talking about? He always does it!! He whispers to himself like a mad scientist being tortured "don't say siavash, don't say siavash"
There's another one where NOirin gets evicted, then he screams. He knows exactly when moments like that will be included in the highlights show.
I still want him to win though
