Last night

"Of course I hide from reality - it's my way of coping"

"You're the most defensive person I know"

You know it would be funny in a different life!

"It's just the way I am!"

"Don't expect me to live under your prohibition!"

"Now wait a minute you have a problem with my drinking Vodka? What about you and your diet soda or other caffeine beverages you drink? Or how about your addiction to your crosstitch?"

"I was a drinker when we met 15 years ago and I am a drinker now what's the big deal?"

Have you been drinking? "NO" Are you sure? "No I have not been drinking" as he stumbles across the floor and slurs his speech"

Wakes up in the ER at our local hospital and wonders how he got there! I tell him he drank to much and I found him passed out on the floor having convulsions! He insists he has had no alcohol. Unk to him the ER toook his blood and his blood alcohol was 7 times over the legal limit!


"Well I didn't think drinking mouthwash would have a worse effect than drinking Vodka!"

I've been drinking a fifth of rhum everyday for a year now......at least I wasn't doing dope.

I hate A.A meetings I have nothing in common with alcoholics.

"You thought I had relapsed when I didn't and it bothered me so much that I had to drink."

i love this thread...i hope it keeps going.............some are just TOO funny. but ya know what,some of these quotes i have heard from non alcoholics in my relationships...such as........"your readin those women magazines again"......"you think too much"......."you been watchin too much of the o.j. trial".......................from the a----"i wouldnt care if my wife/girlfriend was a porn star,as long as she knew that was work"..........."YOU need a drink".................."im really tryin,baby--i didnt go out and buy any more tonight,i only drank what i had",me-"how many was that?" SIX.(in about three hours)(not to mention what he had the day before and the day after)........when i said everybody i knew went out and did things on the weekends,his answer-"well,maybe you need to hang out with THEM".............then yet other times, "anything you want to do baby,just tell me and we will"...no wonder i was so damn confused the whole relationship!

Back when AH + I were together, we were both sober in AA (ok, *I* was, he was sorta trying). The rule was "If you drink, DON'T COME HOME" - - Well, AH forgot even after I 'reminded' him when he called from the bar, reminded him 2 more times when he came staggering in and I turned him around towards the door - he said quite pitifully "But honey, if you make me go out there, the police will get me!"
My reply? That's ok sweetie, you'll have a warm, safe place to sleep then.

But my all time "favorite", a continuation of the complaining about my strange lack of any interest in sex:
"Hey baby, why don't you come on over here and _________ me?!?"
(I started replying sweetly "Why don't YOU come over HERE and gimme a back rub??!"
(pi$$ed him off something FIERCE for some reson!)


Blessings,

Even though I posted several weeks ago, I'm glad to see so many on this board chiming in with the phrase(s) they have to tolerate. Yeah ... it's all the same, isn't it? Someone else is the b***h, the boss is a pain in the butt, nobody understands them, they are special, their pain is special. Oh please, give me a break!!!

After awhile I've learned to shrug off that special diatribe I'm treated to when he decides to get "deep" into his feelings (LOL!!!!). "I was in the Army ... it is SO SERIOUS all the time ... there is so much pressure." Yeah, right ... I bet he was feeling tons of pressure when he went to the officers' club every night to get high before returning to his quarters. The other excuse: "There were NO WOMEN in the Army ... only dikes. The few who were hetero were already involved with a guy. We were all lonely, horney guys stationed in the middle of nowhere." Since when does being horney turn someone into a raging alchoholic?????

Sorry ... just feeling a bit sarcastic this evening!
