Funniest Quack EVER
Okay, let me start by saying, I know there are running "quack" threads here but I am so anxious to share this one that I couldn't even go back and look for them. And honestly, this one (in my opinion) deserves its own thread.
Told to me last night by my friend, her exchange with her A/Addict BF (age 34) who has a serious pain pill and Benzo problem:
Friend to ABF:
This is crazy. Why the HELL are there needles in our house.
ABF: We may need them someday.
Friend: WTF are you talking about??? I have found needles just "lying around" our house, in reach of our child, three or four times in the last two weeks. WHERE DID THEY COME FROM AND WHY ARE THEY HERE????
ABF: We need to have them handy. I am worried about the dog.
Friend: WTF ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT??? There is NOTHING WRONG WITH THE DARN DOG.
ABF: Yeah, but if our dog gets epilepsy (at some future time in life?) then we would have to inject his meds. My friend had these needles and I thought we should keep them "just in case." For the dog.
Friend: YOU DON"T EVEN HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE DESPITE YOUR SERIOUS MEDICAL CONDITION. WE ARE BROKE AND LOSING OUR HOME. HOW THE H*LL WOULD WE PAY THE VET OR BUY THE MEDS IN THIS UNLIKELY SCENARIO?????
ABF: You're a heartless idiot. You don't care about our dog.
I kid you not. Had I been there myself, I would have just HAD to ask, "And WHY is it you are SO concerned about your pet's hypothetical epilepsy that you couldn't be bothered to move the "just in case" needles out of your pre-schooler's reach?????
I just HAD to share with some people that might appreciate the complete insanity. My friend is not a rocket scientist but even she knew what a huge load of crud this was.

right??? Quack = meaningless (but sometimes hilarious) crap that the A says to protect the addiction. This includes a lot of horribly painful and cruel stuff - but none if it means anything. They say it helps to imagine a quacking duck when it starts so that you don't internalize any of the garbage. Occasionally it is so freaking funny that you can even forget for a moment how aweful it is.

Wow. I'm an RA (and a recovering codie) and I don't think even *I* came up with something that stupid!
That being said, I'll be grateful for my recovery because had I kept using, I just might have come up with something like that.
Hugs and prayers,
Amy

Not that it wasn't funny because it was very funny...
...but for those of us that have been around for awhile it's par for the course.
Gotta go now. I have to buy some needles at the drug store because someday I might get a dog, and someday the dog might get sick, and someday I might need to give the dog a shot. As somebody who does care about animals it's the right thing to do.
While I'm at it I'm going to get some insulin too. Someday my diabetic coworker might be at my house, and someday he might go into shock, and someday I might have to give him a shot...
Wow! It's the quack that keeps on giving!!!
Yep, you're right. It is pretty damn funny!
