Re: Famous phrases from the A in your life
 

oooh another one that always got me...

"i am a social drinker" as he started drinking before it was even noon.

"i cant afford to take him to the dentist" as we were at the liquor store and he was buying another 60 dollars worth of booze

"you dont seem happy any more... we used to have fun when you drank and werent so damn superior" that one hurt alot but i see where it came from now

Re: Famous phrases from the A in your life
 

This thread has helped me alot in my long journy..... I have heard things here that either directly effected me since I was very young. I grew up with an alcholic father, married an alcholic man, divorced and my 2nd husband has nowturned into one as well.
The one saying I get and this lets me know JUST how much he really has had... that # 4 gets old. ..... Is this " IT'S JUST NOT WORTH IT" as he lifts his arms and walks away.... after I said go ahead and go to bed you need to get up early in the moring and work * keep in mind it is 9:00 pm and I have 4 kids to put to bed,make lunches,food a load of clothes,wash and dry a load, and finish a science fair project. ten it can be bedtime ....I go in and listen to him cut logs all night... sounds like just what I want to do. " I think he may just be right " It's just not worth it."

Re: Famous phrases from the A in your life
 

* "YOU screwed my life up!" (huh?!)
* ME: "How did you get that bruise?"
HIM: "The table came up and hit me."
* after just waking up from a 'nap' in the afternoon, still drunk - " Is it tomorrow morning?"

I'm not going to go into the nasties. You guys know them all.

OK, THAT WAS enough to make me smile....

" I THINK I REALLY HIT ROCK BOTTOM THIS TIME"

That quote must have come from the same person that invented the bottomless glass.
Just how many rock bottoms do you have to hit?

Re: Famous phrases from the A in your life
 

"If I'm accused of doing it I may as well do it!"

"You tell me I'm a jerk all the time so I may as well act like one!"

(Good way to shift responsibility for ones actions with statements like that?)

Re: Famous phrases from the A in your life
 

while i went visit overnight he went out and got drunk, smoked marijuana and did cocaine, after being sober for 8 months. he said "i thought i could get away with it and you wouldn't find out". was it fair to sneak behind my back like a little kid. is this a healthy relationship if he has to sneak to drink. he thought i would get mad and then make up like we did for 10 years. well this time i didn't let him back in and didn't ask him to come home. nope i had had ENOUGH. now he's mad at me! why he doesn't like a taste of his own medicine.

Re: Famous phrases from the A in your life
 

I'm not drunk....as he staggers of to bed.

I didn't use.... I don't know what happened to my paycheck.

Someone must have stolen my tools.

Re: Famous phrases from the A in your life
 

As he's getting up from the last fall "that damned knee went out again"
After he's passed out for awhile "Boy I must have needed that nap. I don't know why I'm so tired"
Could you go out and park the truck for me?
Why don't you trust me anymore?
Why can't things be like they used to between us?
Me: How'd you get that black eye? Him: Someone I don't know hit me for no reason. I swear I didn't say anything to him.
I'm not going to the bar to drink I'm going to talk to someone about some work.
What's wrong honey you look alittle down.

Re: Famous phrases from the A in your life
 

After getting drunk and throwing up " ONG whats wrong with me Why am I throwing up"..........

Re: Famous phrases from the A in your life
 

This one comes after 10 months in a treatment facility, a relapse and then 2 1/2 years sober.

"I just don't know what's wrong with me." " I should stop drinking, but I don't know where to go for help"

In my mind - " What the F"

Lot of Love to you all

Re: Famous phrases from the A in your life
 

This one from my ex:


After a year had gone by in our lovely relationship and he was being his real inconsiderate jerk self I asked him "How come in the first year you were so nice and considerate,remembered my birthday,bought me flowers,phoned when you said you would and now you don't anymore?'


He looked me dead in the eye and very seriously said "Well you are only supposed to do all that stuff in the first year."

I know how hard it is. My AH says "You don't have it so bad." "You're paranoid." "You just try to invent something to worry about."
The sad thing is, I believed him for a long time.
