The denial is baffling.

This thread always makes me laugh--sometimes more of a groan. And what LizAnon said about the denial being baffling made me think about how much denial I used to be in as well.
I bet our normie friends could post a quackers thread about things we've said about the A in our lives as well.
Things like...
"He's not an alcoholic. He's different."
"Things are going to be different this time."
"He only started drinking again because he's really stressed out."

I'm dealing with the quacking again of "I've been unhappy in this marriage for years" and "I've been trying to pretend that I love him (his son) but it was just to spite her (ex)." I know this is the quacking of someone who is trying to justify continued use but I am feeling so, so sad about it all right now.
I guess the other quacking is what started the most recent relapse about two months ago "I'm just going to binge for 3 days for my vacation. I'll stop again when I go back to work."

AW came up to our master bath last night, then stuck her face in the sink, passed out for about 10 minutes. Came to, walked out of the room to the landing between the floors, sat down, and passed out for about 30 minutes.
This morning I asked what was going on... the answer: "I was hot, so I thought I would lie on the floor!" Followed up by: "I think it might be menopause, it's doing weird sh*t to my body!" Plus she REALLY testy that I asked, so that means it ain't menopause.
So, menopause makes you act like a drunk!! Which, in my 50+ years of being on this earth and the women I've known that went thru menopause - this is a first!! I guess the last 7 years of drunk-like behaviour must have all been attributable to 'pre-menopause'!!
The quack of the day!!

I heard a few from my XABF a bit ago - during our last conversation:
”I love you too much to say F@&! you.”
The very next text, “F@&$! You! I can do better!”
Me: “Then please do, and leave me alone.”
”I’ve never done anything to hurt you. What have I done? I didn’t beat you.”
”I only ridiculed you to push you to be better.”
”You just don’t want to see me because you still love me and want to have sex. You’re a horn dog. I never said anything about sex but you just want it all the time!” (I got to the point I never wanted it because who wants a stinking, flopping fish that can’t do anything to please either party in that state?)
After I told him not to contact me again - a half an hour later the text, “I can’t lose my job over your b.s. and drama! I needed to be in bed an hour ago and you won’t let me sleep!”
Him contacting one of my friends, “Please tell Mellybug to unblock me so I can ask her out on a proper date.”
Ugh, I don’t know who I am more disgusted with at this point - him or me, for attempting civility in the face of delusional insanity.

I don't know where this belongs. It's quackers of the in-laws.
MIL to H: You can bring the beer to Christmas.
H: I'm not bringing beer.
MIL: Than you can bring the wine.
H: I'm not bringing wine.
MIL: I never spend more than 7 dollars for wine. So you can bring the wine.
H: I'm not bringing the wine.

Yeah..they dont seem to realise the all booze and crap they consume is causing the weight gain. And late at night is the worst time too!!

Ladyscribbler, I hope you don't mind that I'm reposting this from back in February. It's got to be one of the best quacks I've ever heard.

I'm sure I missed something, but those are the ones I remember hearing about from the exhole (thanks to NWGRITS for one of my favorite words of all time).

Don't forget mouthwash! Especially the special prescription kind that is only available from the special dentist, and you have to hold it in your mouth for FIVE WHOLE MINUTES. It even fools breathalyzers into thinking you've consumed alcohol.
