Had to laugh at his quacking

Friday night my ex-fiance told me he was going to quit heroin (he's primary addiction is alcohol). Then Saturday he had to work so he "had to take just enough so I could do the painting job on the apartment."
Come Sunday he tells me he was seriously considering going to a halfway house except "I don't want to give up my beer."

Then people wonder why he's my ex lol

I must inquire - what is the definition of quacking (new person here)

From context, I am guessing it is information coming out of the mouth of active alcoholic/dry drunk - could be lies, excuses, insults, or anything aimed into deceiving others.

Something like that?

Yes, Nata - that's pretty much it. Or stuff that you KNOW is pure BS - like, "Not sure how that vodka bottle ended up under my seat - someone must have broken into my car and put it there!"

Or my AW threatening to leave for the umpteenth time in the last 5 years... pure quacking

Sounds like he may be desiring that heroin just a little more than he is letting on?
Been there done that.

One of the funniest quacks I’ve ever heard was…….he tried going to AA but they were full and there was a waiting list, they’ll call him when a chair opens up.

Ooohh shut the front door.

Nata hasn't seen the Quackers thread.

Grab your tissues, for laughing and crying at the same time...

Love these quacking posts.

My AH recently told me that drinking beer is the same as drinking milkshake! Um, yeah!

He rents a room at the same place I do. I have a separate door to the outside from my place but sometimes when I walk the dog he'll be out front of the complex smoking a cig.

and yeah, M-bob, you are right on- he's doing more than a "little" is my guess as well.
