AW Quotes
Defensive sayings while sober **
"I wouldn't have to hit the bars after work if it wasn't for all of those beer billboards on the way home"
"I only drink after work because it's happy hour and I can save us money"
"There wouldn't be a problem if you'd just drink too. You know, I'll probably live a lot longer than you, because of alcohol's health benefits"
"Don't worry, I never give male bartenders very good tips. Only the female ones"
}
Sayings while drunk **
"You're such a joy kill (killjoy?)"
"Why are the kids laughing at me" [You aren't intelligible, they think you're playing around because of the stumbling, slurred speech]
"Let's join that Winebook-of-the-Month club to save money" [Drunken, hurried combination of trademarks]
"Let's go to Red Lobster, I don't want to eat anything though -- I know it's expensive" [Red Lobster's the only restaurant near us still open at 9PM, that serves alcohol. I frequently get pressured to go there at around 9, I assume that's when her alcohol buzz is wearing off (stops bar drinking at 7PM, usually)]
}
Basically, my wife tries to drink as much as she can, for as financially little as she can, as often as can. I think she feels a lot of guilt for her impairment and the needless expense of it all (at least $20/day at bars during the week, sometimes up to $50, and at least $50 on Sat/Sun)

You are an animal. You are a witch.
It is always something with you.
My family hates you.
My friends hate you.
You drink every day - YOU have a drinking problem.
We have not bought my Mother's house yet - because she hates you.
If you want to file, file.
Get out of here - this isn't your house.
I am going to throw all of your things out on the driveway.
Shut the "f" up.
What the hell are you watching on TV?
Ever since you went to Alanon and saw that therapist you changed.
You use to be such a sweet, kind person - what happened to YOU?
====================================
That is just off the top of my head. Been married less then one year. I did not know he was an alcoholic when we married - and I knew him for 3 years prior to our wedding day! I moved out after 8 months of abuse and he went into the hospital with bleeding esophageal varices (his 2nd episode at age 39).
He continued to drink after that. Got his first DWI at beginning of month after he was caught stalking me out in my work parking lot night after night.
I am serving him with divorce papers - once we find him. I think he is in treatment - (2nd time in inpatient in past 8 weeks). Too little too late - I am done. I will not live my life like that and even if he made an effort at recovery - the incidence of relapse is too high for me to risk my own sanity!

You've got to be f*'n kidding me with that.
After he drank half of my bottle of red wine and replaced the consumed portion with, you guessed it, water.
"Yeah, that looks like a blush baby. They must have labeled it wrong!"
You are so materialistic, its all about the money with you.
(no, its about him not making any money)

A few more memorable ones:
"Do I disgust you?" "Do you think I'm pathetic?" "You are too good for me." "I think I am in love with you." "What did I ever do without you?" "Stop feeling sorry for yourself." "You rotten bitch!" "You think you know everything!" "I think you are depressed." "You need to stop reading so much." "Why don't you get drunk or something? I'm gonna have one! (at 1 in the afternoon)"
Wow - I can't believe that I still often miss him. Me = NUTS!!!

I was quite evil now that I look back on it.He is sober now and says his favorite was in the middle of winter when he would come home drunk, stip down and go to crawl into bed, there would be no bedding, just a bare mattress. I would turn the furnace down to 45, strip the bed down to a bare mattress and hide the bedding, pillows and blankets. I would then take the electric blanket to the LOCKED guest room and crawl in a nice warm bed and sleep like a baby (after I heard him come it). He was too drunk to get back up and look for blankets so he would sleep naked on a bare mattress in a 45 degree bedroom......... I was sick!
I realize now that what I did was no different than hiding cancer medication from a cancer patient. I regret it, but at the time in a sick way it made me feel better.
We talk about it now and I have apologized and I mean it. I do regret what I did. Compassion is important and I didn't have an ounce in my body, I was too busy playing victim.
Thank God I am healing and getting healthier now. I have a lot of work to do yet, but I would never do anything like that to an ill person again.
I love him and can't believe I did those things and many others to him.

"Hey b****, get over it and quit being so damn sensitive!"
"Yeah, so what if I drink, so does everybody else!!!"
"You drink too!"
"Okay, so what if I'm an alcoholic ... big f***ing deal!"
"It's a free country, I'll do what I want to do."
"With a b**** like you to live with, who wouldn't drink??" My response: "If you're so miserable, get an attorney and file for a divorce." His response: silence.

"Grow a brain"
that would be instead of killing the one I have?
"I only got mad last night because you.....(fil in the blank with any minor or unreal thing an A can think of to turn it on you!)
"I may have to call into to work today."
Said almost daily until he has sat in the bathroom for a 1/2 hour downing a gallon of coffee and moaning about how he feels like $hit!
"I never use to drink this much."
hmmm....his first wife divorced him because of it and every relationship after that fell apart because of it. Wish I had known all that before I got involved with him!

I'm loving reading this thread!!
How about...
(after I say, "You're gonna lose this job, too.")...
I'm not drinking at work!
Or after finding his bottles on so many occasions...
Where did you find THAT?
That's not mine! (We don't have anyone else living in our house!)
That's an old one.
I found that (insert any old place...) and was going to put it in the recycling.
And the classics...
I only had a LITTLE! (a pint of vodka)
I'm only maintenance drinking so I don't get sick (trying to quit!)
You quit eating and I'll quit drinking!
(When I asked him to see his therapist again, after pointing out how he can't lose another job, 'cause we can't afford it...)
It costs too much money!

The morning after phrases (when he was sober?)
What? It was just about sex, I'm married to you arn't I.
What? I didn't hurt nobody.
What? I like sleeping in the truck.
What? Everyone is getting DUI's these days
What? Do I have to call you everytime I decide not to come home.
The kids thought it was funny.
I don't see how I was a .27 I just had a couple beers
And the very final along with the .27 "She was drunk and walked into the side of my truck and I ran over her foot and now I have to pay the price."
What? I will probably only do a year in prison you should be fine.

I forgot this one!
"What happened to all the beer I had in the frig?"
Well...duh!
BTW...I do NOT drink beer and he knows that....I can not stand it! Yet he still makes that dumb a$$ comment to me.

After my husband does not come home for dinner 3 nights straight, I went out to dinner with a girlfriend. I told him I was going.
When he got home from work 2 hours late, he says to our 2 teenage sons who fixed their own meals, " Your mom goes out for a nice dinner and there's nothing to eat here. After I worked all day and I'm tired. I'm going out."
Then he boiled the lobster ravioli that I had bought specially for him. Which took 10 minutes.
My 13 year old called to tell me about the temper tantrum because he found it amusing.

Every time he goes to the bar, he has to justify it:
"I cooked you a good dinner didn't I?" Or "Did you get a good dinner?"
This of course is a comment out of the blue without my having said anything. I know he is preparing to go to the bar.
Another way I know is with out words. He starts tucking in his shirt. (yes, lets look nice for all the drunks)
"I'm going to go have "A" beer. Comes back 3 or 4 hours later! BIG beer!!!!!
Complains about the boys not having THEIR act together!
When I am going to my co-dependance meeting/group:
"Oh yeah, you're going to your GROUP" (sarcasum on the "group")
"I cooked you a good dinner didn't I?" Or "Did you get a good dinner?"

Oh boy, first post here and does this thread ever hit home. Some of mine:
"No-one is going to tell me when I can and cannot drink!"
"I'm working on it. Trust me. I have to control the amount I drink and the frequency of it"
"I'm going to stop and get "a" beer" (as we're driving towards the beer store). Too bad they don't make One Packs.
"You think you know me so well but you don't" (as I'm wondering if this is going to be another 'drink til he passes out' night)
"I'm fine" (after 5 or 6 beers when he's reaching for the car keys)
"I actually hope I wake up dead tomorrow"
" You have a vivid imagination" (when I catch him on ***** trying to pick up women)
" I'm here aren't I?" (see above)
"I do what I do because I CAN"
"You have too much time on your hands"
"No, I haven't been drinking, I'm just emotional tonight" (when I hear the slur in his voice over the phone)
"I OWE YOU NOTHING!!!" (after I bought a used truck for him so he could afford to move his meager belongings across the country to be closer to me...note to myself, get head examined)
"You never told me your kids have problems" (sorry we're not all perfect like you)
"You suck at housework. Get on the damn computer and learn to cook and keep house" (when I leave HIS messes for him to clean up)
"WHAT is your problem?"
"No-one is going to tell me when I can and cannot drink!"

What you called the police? Then they will take me in naked! He striped and stood out in front of our home in 17 degree weather. We live in a col-de-sac!
I fixed spagettii and I thought it was too dry so I added orange juice.
It's not over spiced (then where's the meat?)
Kids-please ask him not to make breakfast, we're tired of oatmeal paste every morning.
Smile on face when we pass where he wrecked.
I've been celabrating our daughters Birthday, (tanked at 5) where we joining them for supper?
It's your Birthday?
I like my beer hot.
11:30 PM..What, you don't want the White Castle's I brought you home..are you asleep?
I drove over his case of beer, you would have thought I drove over his best friend!
Nice job on lean to shed..it only took 10 cases of beer to build...11 if the wife hadn't diven over one.
Can't beleive I got out of bed and peed on the floor..must have been the cat.
I just let the llama out to roam in the yard, didn't think he would fall into rain cistrum.
I thought you had the 2 llama males under control.
You just have a scratch on the back of your leg where the llama stepped on you. (a hole large enough to put a marble in)
Can't take Son fishing without Gary...he has the boat!
Way too many to remember in the last 30 years. Just like the Energizer Bunny, he just keeps on going..............
