For the Alcoholics now....
 

Following in Minnie and Jazz's posts....this one is for the A's out there-
(Similiar to Minnie's but from the A's themselves)

What are some of the quotes from your loved ones? (ya know us codie peeps)

Ouch, this is gonna hurt;-) I think they're fairly obvious, but not as funny (in a sick sort of way) as yours.

Don't you think you've had enough to drink (Of course not!)

Do you want me to drive? (Why? I'm fine!)

Can you not embarass me tonight? (No prob. I'll just embarass myself)

Did you break my cell phone? (No. It broke itself after I checked your logs and noticed you were calling other men.)

You're too drunk to carry our child on your shoulders (No I'm not. Uh-oh, I just dropped our son on his face)

What happened to the wine I had in the fridge? (I used it for cooking)

Where did all those empties come from in the trash can? (Must've been the neighbor)

I can't understand a word you're saying. Are you drunk again? (No, are you deaf or something?)

And then there's the quote that's rang in my head since my sobriety date:

I'm done with you, our marriage is over, get out.

Thanks for the thread Rella!

Thank you Astro great start!!

Just thinking it is only fair that we hear how we sound too it may help it may not...worth a shot! We were/are unhealthy too-why should all the blame be thrown in one direction?

It's easy to feel victimized, but healthier to understand our part in an alcoholic relationship. Heck, I picked up a 90 day CoDA chip yesterday. I'm no angel! ;-)

oh boy, that brought back some memories. Especially the "I can't understand a word your saying". I think I said it something like this "Don't even talk to me, you sound like you got a mouth full of sh _ _ ." Why can't you just be normal??? I might as well just talk to the wall.

After my first wife divorced my sorry @ss I wrote a letter to a woman who posted a personal ad. Good thing I never mailed it, when I sobered up enough the next day to read it I'd written something like:

kjuys nhdyb guguuu jhfsastudh ikn mshy llooopp rreewwaass bbcccss

:lame:

OMG, I'm dying to see what the rest of you all say. I just can't believe all the A's say the same things and all the codies say the same things. It's amazing, almost like they do give out a handbook or something.

You mean if anyone else is brave enough? We're pretty scared of the codies and all their depth and wisdom :e052: Lol!

When my husband would get really angry with me for no reason, I would ask, "have you been drinking?" Duh

OK, OK.....Brave is my middle name.....lol..

You had to much to drink! (no, I just forgot to eat something) as if the 10th glass of wine didn't have a thing to do wit it.

Have you been drinking again? (no, it's the combination of the lip gloss and gum you smell)

I'm a little tired right now, but I'll think of some more, sad huh..

hope3

When my daughter would say "Mom why are you acting so strange" I would tell her "oh it must be the allergy medicine I took". She finally said you must have allergies everyday. Whoops!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~

Don't walk in front of me, I may not follow. Don't walk behind me, I may not lead. Just walk beside me and be my friend.

Kind of boring in comparison to what we have said to you all.

Have you been drinking?

How many beers did you drink?

Can you please tell me why the trash can weighs next to nothing yet is full and makes sounds like empty cans?

I can tell you have been drinking, your eyes are glazed over!

I can tell you have been drinking, you are slurring your speech!

You can hardly walk!

You drove in that condition?

Have you changed what you are drinking? You seem drunker then usual!

The kids do not want to ride with you!

You are embarassing!

Your drunk again.

Nothing funny really, kind of depressing to me.

You need to slow it down? (angry and slurring my words - I'm not even buzzed yet!)

Why do you get so drunk?

Why can't you just have a couple drinks and stop?

Don't get drunk tonight.


Like taz said -- not funny, depressing me a bit.

I haven't said anything too different than what ya'll have listed here but one time I did buy myself a birthday card for my AH to give me and then it was such a beautiful card it brought tears to my eyes when he gave it to me.

And he was so proud of himself and darn it, so was I.

OMG! I can't believe I shared that with ya'll!

"You're not going to work today?"

"It's like you are 2 different people"

"When are you going to another AA meeting?"

"Do you want me to drive you?"

"You need a shower...and change your underwear!"

"You haven't eaten anything since yesterday morning. Don't you want any dinner?"

"Of course I'll be there to pick you up!" (from jail, every Monday morning at 5:00 a.m....I can hear the loose screw rattling around up in my head as I type this)

"Where are you going?"

"Why did you call an escort service?" (believe it or not, his answer was dumber than my question)

"Why don't you just drink beer ? It's the hard stuff that gets you."

"You could quit if you wanted to"

"You just don't have enough will power"

"Did you drink my Captain Morgans Rum, again ?"

"Ok, we can go. Just promise me you'll be good. Please ?"

"Do you have to drink every night ??"

"You think that just going to work and paying the bills is all you have to do"

"You didn't eat your dinner.....again"

*sigh*

I still haven't 9th stepped her........

Actually, Astro I have found alot of and I mean alot of WISDOM from our A's! You all are truly amazing, when you are in recovery! (*WINK*)

((((BIG ASTRO HUGS))))

Actually yes it maybe boring in comparison but, I also feel that for some of us codies (and I speak only for myself) it is possible that it is kind of depressing for us to be asked certain things but we do it all for one reason I believe as the A's do and that is for healing! I enjoy sharing as I know others I'm sure do-our "wisdom" as Astro calls it-and I know we gain from the A's sharing theirs!

Sorry this was a bit boring rather not as funny to read as ours...just thought giving it a try could not hurt-if it did I apologize-

Thanks Taz!

Okay, I'll tell another one on myself.

One day I was in a dept. store and I heard a lady on the phone talking to her child and she asked if he was being good for the babysitter.
That was when I realized I could ask my AH if he was being good and strangers around me wouldn't know what was going on.

I bet in the last 12 years I have asked, "Are you being good?" thousands of times.

"Are you drunk?" is one I hear myself saying all the time...to which he replies "I haven't had that much, I'm just tired"..

I'm not sure why I ask...it's obvious, eyes glazed over, slight slur in the speech...Why do I ask?
