Forgot this one! He's got about $40,000 in credit card debit, owes more on his house than when he bought it due to previous cc debit he rolled over, and he was looking at a pair of $1000 skis. I told him he couldn't afford those and he shouldn't be spending the money on that (he was thinking of dropping his cable because it was too much). His response?:
"Why grow up now??? Duh, massive debt is part of the fun of not growing up!!!"
Looking at this statement written down, I think a lightbulb is going on........
Holy crap, what a loser.....

Bump it up. hehe
I stopped answering calls from XABF almost a week ago after he called me at 6:30 in the morning drunk (yes, DRUNK at 6:30 IN THE MORNING). After a combination of 16 voice mails and text messages in an hour and a half I finally answered, angry, don't call me anymore!
He wanted to know what he did so wrong that I wouldn't answer the phone for him. If he was one of my f-ed up friends I'd answer for them. I said it's because my friends don't talk to me like he does. My friends don't call me a b!tch or tell me to f off or accuse me of being a liar or a cheat and none of my friends have called me at 6:30 in the morning drunk.
His response???
That's because none of your friends have gotten in your pants yet.

After first DUI: "It was the cop's fault, he was waiting for me on the exit ramp. That's entrapment! That's illegal!" He got caught going 119 mph at 3:30 am on his motorcycle (same one he crashed later when charged with second DUI, that almost killed him) on the highway with a blood alcohol level twice the legal limit.
Of course the second DUI was that cops fault too. Yeah, right.:rotfxko

Same here. Mine's on his 4th, that I know of. He's a smart A....only two are in the same county. Two are in other counties and here the systems aren't connected so none of the rest know about the others.
But yeah, his response to the last one he got was that the cops only block that one road all the time because they know he lives up the street and he'll be on that road to go home.
Yes, dear, cause PD has nothing better to do than single in on lonely, miserable, ain't hurtin anybody, you.

This is from years ago and it has taken me this long to see any humor in it!
He was expecting me at his house after I got off work.
I arrived and he was very, very drunk.
His story: his friends came over with this big bottle of liquor and he knew he had to get rid of it and them before it was time for me to be there so he figured the quickest way to do that was to hurry up and drink it all!
Logical solution, eh? LOL

Liveweyerd, i laughed . i can totally see an active alcoholic saying that and i can totally see an RA telling someone this is how he/she use to think.
i have a question folks, how about 2 more threads:
one about the abuses we could not remain under but also had to forgive for us and the second the co-dependent/ our bad behavior reaction of the day
TrainWreckAgain, what do you think? I think they will serve others just as this thread does.
Okay, a quack.... " I'm going to the store, do you need anything?" aka for active alcoholic: I need to go to the store to get a bottle of vodka, the one I will hide. And then when you wonder if I am drunk I will tell you I haven't drank anything. I will spend money on something I really didn't want so i have something to walk in the door with, sometimes it is flowers for you.

my xABF was going on a trip to ireland. he drank for 4 days leading up to it. he had borrowed £500 to go. he was drunk when he went to collect the money and lost it. in the morning, he wakes up in his own bed, goes to his wallet and realizes he has lost the money. he panicks, now no longer able to go and see his children.
me: you can't remember last night at all and now the money is lost. i hope you can see that this is a direct result of too much alcohol.
him: no, this is not a result of drinking! it's a result of sleeping!

After the 3rd DUI, it was the policeman's fault.
Then, it was the judge's fault for his suspended license.
Then, it was the doctor's fault at rehab for having a ponytail and being too new age for him to respect the guy.
Then, it was the outpatient docotr's fault for giving him a hard time (i.e. seeing through the BS).
Then, it was my fault for his continued drinking and subsequent infidelity.
It has also been his ex-wife's fault, his best friend's fault, his dead parents' faults and even the housekeeper's fault for his continued drinking and unhappiness.
He is the biggest victim on the planet.

OMG, my x said the exact same thing.
"You're the only one who thinks I'm an alcoholic, and it hurts."
I tried asking why? why should it hurt? but what's the point.
Here's one, which is actually from one of his drinking buddies:
"The only thing J's drinking is affecting is your relationship. And that's only cuz you don't accept his social drinking."
And this classic:
Me:: "I can't tolerate the drinking anymore. THe only way I can stay with you is if you stop drinking."
Him: "Stop trying to change me. I don't tell you how to be or how to live your life."
Me: (thinking) Hmm, drinking is a behavior, it's not YOU. I'm asking to change the behavior not you as a person.
So I guess what you're saying is, your identity is totally wrapped up in your drinking. And yet, you don't consider yourself an alcoholic??

No, I am the only one who will actually say something to you about it and hand you your consequences!

Yesterday I overheard ex talking about beers with such enthusiasm. You would think kidneys hurting, shakes, loss of friend/gf, Sundays spent recovering from the week, scolding at the job, would tick something... NOT
I did not know whether to laugh or cry about this. I chose crying. Today I chose to laugh. I just want to slap him, honest, and tell him WAKE UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP THERE IS AN ELEPHANTTTTTTTTTTTTT but no, I just stroll next to him looking serious...
