"Im gonna go do something productive with my life, like buy America" (this is while he is slurring and crawling on the floor to the couch)

"You drove me to drink because you bit*h all the time; no wonder I can't stay sober."
" The bank must've made a mistake, I only took out one or two atm deposits, at the casino, not four, the bank must of debited each transaction twice."
"I went gambling, but at least I didn't drink"
"I just went out to dinner with my boss and his family." (after getting home at 2am)
"I drink a beer with dinner because it taste good, not to get drunk, and I usually only have a "few."

I love this thread!!
This was one of the first I read when I found SR. It made it really hit home that there was a big problem - how on earth could people thousands of miles away be saying the EXACT same things?
"I've only had a couple" - you do all realise that active alcoholics can't count beyond two, don't you? If someone admits to drinking 6, then they aren't an alcoholic.
"They were from before" - when I found yet more hidden bottles.

me too, me too!
This is a brilliant thread...
"you've got a real problem, do you know that?" (starting to realise it!)
"you just don't get it, do you?" (eh, no.)
"AA meetings are boring"
"I only had a mini-joint"
"could be worse, I could be drinking"
"I don't like this hash" (while rolling another one)
"it's living with you that makes me like this"
"there's nothing to talk about"
"I'll have a job by the end of the week"
"no, I didn't lie about having any money left, this is my dad's money I'm spending, and it's nothing to do with you" (while buying food I'm going to eat)
"I'M NOT ANGRY!"
Ahhhh it did me good to get that out!
Isn't it weird they say such similar things?

"I can't live with you,; you think I have a drinking problem that I don't................I moved because I was afraid I would drink myself to death being around you because you make me so angry"
To his family: "S. is a good person; she just has to get her act together"

5:30 pm on any given weekday night... "Start cooking dinner b/c I'm on my way out the door, I just have to finish this last beer!" 8:30 pm (on an early night!), when he walks in the door, "Where the hell is dinner? I told you I was on my way home?!?!?" "I ate it 2.5 hours ago, at the time you said you'd be home." "Well what am I suppose to do now? I'm hungry for godsakes!" "Be resourceful and make your own dinner."
But my all time favorite is.... "I didn't want to have that many beers but the guys just kept putting them in front of me! I seriously didn't mean to get this drunk, but you know how THOSE guys can be!"
Oh yeah... and another good one... "Well if you didn't calll me on my cellphone then the guys wouldn't think you were such a controlling b%&^!"
Hmmm... there's also the one... "I didn't get your call b/c I forget my phone in the truck. Otherwise I would have called you back right away!"
I don't bother calling anymore because of all that "phone crap." It causes me too much anxiety, and life is too short. He'll call me if he wants to tell me whats going on, and he'll come home on time if he's hungry... no more forcing him to engage in our life! Doing that one simple thing (no more calls to the cellphone) has brought me so much peace!!

Man, gotta had my memories...
-I quit smoking because I'd rather die of liver cancer than lung cancer.
-Who pissed on the wall?
-I only had a couple...(six packs)
-You can't consider me an alcoholic. Alcoholics drink beer and I switched to whiskey.
-Well, George bought a round and I couldn't leave until I bought one and the others guys bought one to pay me back for the round I bought.
-And the winning quote...yes, I expect you to be psychic. I want dinner on the table the moment I walk in the door and I don't care if it's 2:00am in the morning.

It's hard to shout PHILISTINE with an egg in your gob!!
And one from me (If you're male READ NO FURTHER)
Ehem.... while suffering with *whispers* cistitsis (sp?) I was a tad grumpy - like Godzilla! D commented that I didn't seem to think the world was a very fair place and I replied:
I'll set your crotch on fire and see how fair you think the world is!!!!

My personal favorite- have to put it in context:
I walk into the bedroom one day after getting home from work to get a pair of shorts and find my ex-ABF on hands and knees, butt in the air on one side of the bed, apparently looking under it- obviously drunk.
Me: "What are you doing?"
Him: "Looking for the cat."
Me: "No, really, what are you doing?"
Him: "Looking for the cat, I'm looking for the cat."
This goes on for a few more rounds until I say:
"You mean this cat, the one sitting on top of the bed?"
At that point is when he got up and I found the vodka bottle under my nightstand.
Others:
"I'm not as drunk as you think I am."
"I'm not the f***-up you think I am."
"It's not as bad as you think it is."
"You don't get it."
Wow, the man must have been one heck of a psychic to know what I think.
And my final favorite, in a message a couple of weeks ago:
"I know you're angry, and that's okay....." GEE, thanks for giving me permission to be angry!!!

"I must have broken my rib when I was cutting the grass pushing that lawn mover"
"I only wet the bed when I'm upset"
"There are pleanty of other men that want to have sex with me"
(boy that one use to really get me in the mood...NOT!)

Oh and you are perfect right?
You drink too much sometimes, maybe you are the alcoholic.
Im just really tired today and I think I am having some sort of reaction to something I ate.
Lets go out and just have a couple like we used to do!
Jeger coats my stomach!
Im not drinking vodka (allegedly)only beer, so whats the big deal?
What in the hell is your problem?
Shut your yapper (a personal favorite)

Just found this thread....
Mine would say over and over again "stop it Patty" if I was saying something he didn't like...or when we were with friends and he was drunk he'd say over and over to them
"do you know how much I love this woman?" with a stranglehold around my neck
or the classic...."I'm not drunk don't hang up" or "I'm only drinking 7up" and the all time favorite, "I'll be home in 20 minutes."
