I didn't come home last night but will be there tomorrow night... a week later still not home lol.
I have to take pills because my back hurts
ME: well go to the doctor
Him: I don't have the money for a doctor.
Me: sure would save you money in the long run.
I don't call and let you know I am ok because one you should already know and I don't wanna hear what your gonna say.
I was put in the hospital a few weeks ago and my daughter grabbed a pullover of mine for me. The next day I found his pills in it I called him and he said why did you get that shirt I didn't figure anyone would touch it... Duh it is mine.

I love this thread!
Of course I get the famous "I'll pay you back" on a regular basis.
After not showing up home for several, several hours "I'm just out with my buddies, I'm not doing anything wrong." Really, it is 5 in the morning what could you be doing that is right?
"My buddy's dad just died." I would feel bad had it been true!!
"He (the dealer) is the only friend I have left other than you."
"He (the dealer) can talk me into a better mood when I'm angry. All we do is talk."
"I left gas in your truck for you this time, don't be mad that I was gone for hours." Only for me to get in the truck drive two blocks and the gas light to come on (when I had given him $20 for gas).
"I'll be home in a few minutes." Now days later!
"I don't know why I'm losing so much weight. You need to cook more fattening foods."
"Look at me, I am HOT! " with all seriousness....he looks terrible
"I have been working so hard and I am exhausted. I just need sleep" After working all day and staying up all night for 4 days straight.
"Please look out the window and tell me if that gray Dodge is still following me." This is only funny because he has paranoia so bad right now. It scares me but at the same time I feel crazy actually looking out my window!! He is paranoid about everything.
"I don't understand why you're mad. It has to be because I was right, you can hear all my phone calls and read all my texts!" Uh, yeah, could it be because you haven't been home for 3 days!

Last month, my axbf took pictures of himself while he had a warrant out for his arrest and from the pictures, he was obviously under the influence, and posted them all over Facebook. I texted him and said "Take those pictures down. They're embarrassing." He said "Whatever, I look hot. I've gotten a ton of compliments." The caption on one of of the pics was "AMAZING."
Oh, and come to find out the new jacket he was wearing, I had bought for him with my credit cards, or should I say he bought with MY credit cards.

(I guess this is an open list, I have one that dropped my jaw)
"No, I wouldnt just take your car without asking, you always want to fight and accuse me of ****!!"
(Really, because when I woke up last night and the spare key was gone I checked the parking lot, guess what so was the car, and when I woke up this morning came into the living room and realized you were sprawled out in the doorway and had only managed to take on shoe off and one leg out of your pants I checked again for my car and it has dimples!!! What did you hit?)
I've never wrecked a car, someone must have hit you in the parking lot.
(..............silence)

"I don't know what you are freaking out about, I only took a benadryl"
"I didn't steal your prescription, it must have been the kids" (really? they are 8 & 6??)
"Of course, I'm ok. I'm only taking the stuff my dr gave me" (4 - 6 pills every 1-2 hrs - right??? )
"Not everyone can be perfect like you, ya know - we all aren't GOD" this was always followed by "Do you know how much I admire your spirituality and relationship with God?"
"I was just resting my eyes for a second, wait how did this cigarette burn thru my shirt?"
Well, these are a little funny & insane, but as I read this ~ I am reminded how miserable I was for those many many years - Today I'm grateful that this is not my life 24/7 anymore - THANK YOU to my HP for deliverance! Oh Dear God, please kill me now if I ever had to go back to living with this again. PINK HUGS to all, Rita

"Don't tell me what I need to do until you can understand what I am going thru!"
"Go ahead 'Google it!' because google does heroin it won't make you an expert!"......really?
"I can't control it, it's like a warm hug, everything just disappears" .....You just threw up on yourself "the hug was to tight" (I swear on my children these were the exact words spoken).......silence
What happened to your arm?! "I gave blood"....Where, at a street clinic!? "they had a Kiosk in the mall, they were volunteers, she said it was the first time she had ever drawn blood." .........seriously
"Did you throw that baggie away in the mirror?".... Yeap "Why?" .....excuse me, you're serious?
*The ones before this one were sort "are you kidding me I can't beilieve we are having this conversation right now" this one hurts and kinda made me come to terms that he will over dose and prob kill himself and I just have to sit back and watch this was his first of 3 back to back od's within the last 2 an a half weeks
20 Minutes after he came out of his first ER overdose and realises what happened.... "That was ruthless, I never thought I could get my hands on dope that potent I shoulda hooked him sooner" ........

"I've been with my family all day. It's been a heartwrenching day, but it helped me realize how much I loved you and how I'm going to do the right thing and turn myself in. When I do it, it will be solely be because of my love for you."
Meanwhile he was on a heroin binge with some girl he had just met who was in recovery at the time. He was never with his family. Heartwrenching day? Doing what, drugs? Now that I've looked back on the situation and all the ******** he said to me, I truly believe that this guy has never felt love, nor does he have any clue what it means to love somebody. To him, it's just words on paper. He would always text me "Hello, my love." Nobody talks like that. It was somebody who's read too many books and had never actually experienced it. He's too broken to know what love really is.

I couldn't agree more! One of my friends, who is a recovering addict, gave me the Narcotics Anonymous book to read. It was quite an eye-opener. In the first chapter, it tells you everything you need to know about how addicts operate. It basically says (not verbatim) "I will do everything I can, say anything I can, manipulate people, and lie to keep the addiction going." Think of it this way: there is the truth, and then there is the truth in an addict's world, two different things. "Where were you last night?" The addict's truth: "I was chilling at home watching TV." The truth: "I took a bunch of painkillers and passed out."
Personally, I feel as if they manipulate women because love is blind. It's easier for somebody who loves you to believe your lies because they want to believe them. I think there's a part of them that blames the people they manipulate, as if "Well, if they're so stupid to believe me, then it's there own fault." In my letter I wrote to my axbf, I said "It takes two people to create deception. The person who lies, and the person who believes. Unfortunately, I was the latter."
Since an active addict can't really love, everything they say to keep us around is just words. They have no meaning. They can't feel anything anyways. They're so numb from the drugs. But, they know what to say and how to say it. They know what we want to hear.

After going through 4 days of withdrawal (don't they know we can tell?)... "I run out of pills because my dr. only prescribes 7 days worth and I don't see him til the 8th day. I've been going through withdrawal every week on the 8th day. I could NEVER be an addict, those withdrawals suck!"
"If only you'd get your head out of your ass, we could buy a house and move forward with our lives".
"Since I've been seeing my new doctor, I've been doing really good, I haven't run out a day early". Yeah, you feel like crap for the last few days, but you always have ONE left for that last day. Good for you!
"I would never cheat on you. If you leave, 50% of people will cheat and you'll probably end up with someone who will cheat on you. That's why you shouldn't leave me".
