5 Crazy Ways an Alcoholic Narcissist Behaves

[@angelakeely5859]

Alcoholic Narcissist = Absolute Nightmare,😏🚩🏃‍♀️

[@flawlessfluidity7771]

Oh wow... an Alcoholic Narcissist. Just seeing those two words together gave me a headache. God help those who have to deal with that 🙏🏼

[@aga9618]

How an alcoholic narc tries to accuse EVERYONE else of being an alcoholic is just perverse

[@maevemaiden]

Yep I couldn’t even have a glass of wine with him anymore because every time I put my guard down with him and felt relaxed he would use it against me. Anytime I found peace or serenity he would loudly disrupt and exitinguish any feelings of delight or happiness. I am grateful to be healing. 💕

[@christinagipperich2780]

Oh yeah!!! I have quite the story of how severely my ex projected his feelings about his own alcohol use onto me. He burnt down my life inside two years. He also used his projections in a smear campaign against me to his family.

[@gigiarmany]

Yep..pure insanity..the level of projecting🤦🏽‍♀️🤯

[@alabama.worley]

I haven't drank in nearly a decade, and this is so true. The irony is, working in mental health, I always highlight addictive behavioral patterns within myself, and provide educational information pertaining to causation from childhood trauma/familial dysfunction and the narcissist becomes unsurprisingly defensive. Sometimes I do it for fun, if I'm being honest.

[@HuHWhat-yi8cp]

Well, yes but when the narc was out & about carousing --- you ! Spent too much money on groceries ! ( for the narc to eat ! ) 🙃

[@karenp2903]

They become monsters and go into complete denial over their actions. It is indescribable!

[@sherrymurphy855]

Alcohol magnifies their manipulative behaviors - especially coverts. The narcs I know will never admit any wrongdoing.

[@jeanpaul4100]

Yes. They spill the beans when they are drunk and don't remember the next day.

[@maryheiser311]

They get worse in every way. The only time he would cry was when he had too much alcohol. He would rage at out more easily over nothing. He would get meaner too.

[@1NOIAM]

[@plasticreplica]

i will always remember when he told me while being piss drunk after i asked him : why do you even love me ? he replied with a big smile on his face and so much confidence: " because you are stupid enough to love me " . And that is when i knew , lol

[@cassiebennet4262]

Narcissists cannot recognize love. They have no idea what it looks like even when it's being blatantly demonstrated to them. They think you're lying and trying to trick them. And finally even if they get to a place where they understand that someone does love them they think that person is stupid for doing so because deep down they believe that they are hideous unlovable freaks. It's amazing that your narc actually admitted his true feelings. It's incredibly rare.

[@plasticreplica]

​@@cassiebennet4262he was drunk he denied it fully when he was sober 😅

my fav. part is the insults they blurt out. tells you exactly how they feel. you must never believe them when sober and claiming they do not mean it. yes they do.

[@sharonvaldez9059]

I’ve just recently realized this. Kinda explains why they talk very little. I felt like I was really losing my mind…over and over…thank God this is explaining the gaslighting mental and emotional merry go round, and the tools to “SEE” - “IT…THE NARC” and ability to RELEASE the TRAUMA BOND, FORGIVE MYSELF FOR NOT KNOWING up until NOW, NOW THAT I KNOW BETTER, it’s up to ME, to DO BETTER. Give “MY”SELF…that scared LITTLE girl inside…the one I was supposed to PROTECT. I know now, that I had no way of “recognizing” the dangerous “people”. I never knew any different…TIL NOW! Thank God it’s not just me…I am not alone 😌

[@Malibusurfsup]

Oh yes, the insults.

[@christinagipperich2780]

I work in addiction treatment…I cannot emphasize enough how fiercely a narcissist will hold on to their BS rather than make an effort to recover. They will be sleeping on the streets, literally, before they will admit THEY need to do something differently. Alcoholism and addiction is often a fatal disease in their case.

[@julialucey8366]

Yes, Chris, I agree. Belligerent denial. The addiction to Sadistic behaviour towards others is a drug in itself. This they will not surrender to even in Sobriety.

[@annbond5040]

Wow!!

[@jeanpaul4100]

I can attest that it can be fatal.

That was my childhood. We kids knew to get out of the house when Friday rolled around, but one always stayed behind to make sure he didn’t kill mom. We still suffer.

[@carriecree1789]

That makes me feel so sad that you had to fear for your mother. You were all robbed of so many memories that could have been good. It makes me wonder, we have some neighbor kids that never seem to spend time at home, if something drives them away like that.

[@bakerwannabe4435]

So sad. I hope you’re getting help now. Narcissists and addicts rob us of peace amongst other things.

[@ZLLi661]

Wow I was the one stuck around Friday night coz my friend was a 15 min drive away but I wasn’t allowed to get a part time job, didn’t get paid money for chores or an allowance and wasn’t allowed out unless it was to an activity which mine was mid week. Even having a sleep over at friends meant money would have to be spent on petrol to drive the car. No friends lived nearby walking distance. And since I had no money and was not allowed to get any I was trapped. For about 5 years I hated Friday nights. I never felt safe and just dreaded being home. If it was just Mum and me sure I’d love it, we’d have a great time together. But alas no. At least when my siblings were around with abuse there were more targets or we’d go outside say from it.

[@sarahwilliams2297]

@AnaNomas-gu9hi, That's horrible that you have those memories and experiences, the same as all the other victims of narcissistic abuse- its unbelievable how cruel narcs are. But let me tell you, you are a gift, you are of huge value, and your kindness and understanding you have is priceless. Feeling broken by abuse is normal and completely valid, but please recognize you are an incredible, and worthy person just as you are ❤

The unhinged sadistic monster you encounter when they're drinking is their true self. One time in a rare moment of honesty he told me about how before he met me he would have women come over just to scream at and verbally abuse to the point of tears. He admitted he just got a kick out of it.

[@liseraphina2421]

You are spot on in your comment! In Narc Land in vino veritas is the law of the land. With the lack of inhibition when drinking, the narcissist can’t help but put on display their TRUE TOXIC SELVES🤮🤮🤮

[@vixter28]

Wow !! Mine has told me stories of all the terrible behavior driving his cars into the lake because they were in his ex’s name beating her up because she was cheating ! So glad I’m not with him anymore. He verbally abused me and yelled and threatened to physically harm me ! That was it for me!

My narcissist would normally drink 5-6 beers every evening. Then he would call me and be bubbly and silly - delightful. Then the night he discarded me, he had been drinking hard alcohol. He insulted my cat, my dog, my medical supplies- everything he considered imperfect about me. He was horrid and I never spoke to him again. But there was a distinct difference between the beers and the hard alcohol.

[@cassiebennet4262]

My husband rarely rages on beer unless he has too much. Any more than 4 has a chance of rage. He's not allowed to drink vodka because it is a guaranteed psychotic rage. He's agreed to this a milion times yet still thinks he can hide drinking vodka occasionally. The last time he drank vodka behind my back he started belittling me and so I went upstairs to watch tv. A few minutes later he comes up and starts screaming and cussing me out. So odd one of the things he said was "You never do anything wrong!" Like wtf? He was projecting his imperfections onto me. Then he threatened to call the cops. For what I have no idea. The next day he could not deny his behavior, but still would not outright confess to drinking vodka. It's exhausting and terrifying to deal with this. I'm so tired.

A narc will blame you for his alcoholism and subsequent money problems. Narc will spend $400-500 / month on expensive alcohol and blame spouse/family for money problems. Will chastise you for having 1 beer, but then sit up at night and drink 6 beers (gaslighting). Won’t admit to any personal flaw, will diagnose insomnia, when in reality it’s alcoholism, no care or thought to have good health to show up at one’s best for own children.

[@SqueakySassy]

Oh wow the financial abuse and gaslighting finally makes sense now!!! I always wondered why my dad acted like we were poor and got upset when we spent literally any money, but clearly he was making enough to afford our lifestyle. Kid me never thought about how much 6-12 beers per night cost...

My ex was also an alcoholic. He was the worst person you can imagine when drunk, which was every night for a long time. He would nonchalantly tell me stories about his sexual experiences with exes just to hurt me, come to bed and call me names out of nowhere, pick fights even worse than his normal ones, etc. He did sober up for a few months, and he wasn't nearly as mean at night, but he still wasn't the nice guy I first got together with. It was during this time that I realized I was dealing with much more than an alcoholic, and that alcohol only made his existing issues worse. I still had no idea what was wrong with him, but it did become clear that alcohol was just magnifying a different issue he had, which ended up being NPD!

I do not have contact with the alcoholics in my family any longer & through realizing I myself had alcohol problems quite a while ago. I started attending 12-step mtgs, & did what they suggested I do. It seems like all of the narcissists in my family all had alcohol problems & were probably alcoholics & that all of the "problem drinkers" in my family were narcissistic in some way or another. I used to drink a lot & think I was narcissistic at some times in my life but I found a solution to stop my drinking...

Danish that is spot on. Thankyou. My son has NPD & an alcoholic. His behaviour in drinking was appalling. Now, in recovery & and the 12 steps in recovery, I thought his behaviour would change. In fact, it was the opposite. In Sobriety, the narcissistic symptoms & behaviour were more visible without inebriation. It was then I realised he had NPD. All his hatred is on me & he has completely cut me off. Both his adult children do not have a relationship with him. I have much peace without him in my life. However, the mothering wound & loss are still bleeding.

I was afraid that would happen the first time I involved the authorities, so I made a somewhat "narc-like" move and introduced myself as Doctor Name&Surname, with emphasis on the doctor so they'd be primed to take my words seriously (I'm not an MD, but still a doc). Then I made sure to have a private convo with them and tell them about his prior convictions, and casually dropping in there some more info about myself... Basically try to make them get to know you, so that they can at least start doubting his charming facade. That luckily worked for me. I never like to flash titles or achievements but I think that was necessary. Best of luck darling ❤

Wow. What a light bulb moment. Thank you for this video. I had thought my ex just had a serious drinking problem but this has shown me it was much deeper. Up until watching this video I had been excusing her behaviour because I thought it was all due to the drink alone. In 6 months I've been called a rapist in public twice, had £2000 of property destroyed, my passport ripped up, been cheated on, goaded and lied to on a daily basis, locked out of where we lived, accused of sleeping with her friends, had my phone cloned and my location tracked, facebook account hacked, female friends contacted to spread lies about me, cut off from my friends, blamed for destroying her property that she would destroy, blamed for stealing her property, attacked verbally in "black eyed" storms of rage with the most evil words and accusations ... the list goes on and on. I was forgiving and always trying to get her to get help with the drinking but now I realise I was really just a source of narcissistic supply for her.

Last night he lost his weed pen, and he was angry and awful to the whole family. He’s nearly ruined his relationships with his children. I see it that he has either the inability to recognize how he is with us, or just doesn’t care. He does have a choice in the matter here.

It's depressing that I was somewhat primed to connect with people like them.

Jekyl and Hyde.

[@Kharizmah]

He was way more aggressive and could get physical. He insisted on being focused on when he was drunk. It was more magnified. At one point he did try to stop drinking. When he started drinking again he blamed me. He wondered what was the point of stopping when I was still acting like he was the problem. I explained to him that there was something wrong with him and the alcohol just made it worst. (This was before I realized it was narcissism, the only thing he had been diagnosed with was ADHD. His behavior though did NOT seem to be that. At times it seemed almost like BPD. But the family members that I have that have it were nothing like him.)

[@liseraphina2421]

People talk about dry drunks. I believe they’re narcissists who aren’t currently drinking. When a narcissist drinks, you’re in for The Storm of The Century Shit Show due to the exponential escalation of their already abusive narcissistic traits. Their nastiness and rage are beyond explosive and I believe can morph very quickly into physical violence. They act like an extremely spoiled child; they must be STAGE CENTER AT ALL TIMES. If they perceive that not happening, look out for the rage! >>> People

[@injar88]

Seen a parent like this for so long I stood up and fought for it voicing alone paying a big price for having done so. We don’t know we can fight as kids so we wait till we grow up to call some things out as a responsibility. Deep within I feel compassion for the hurt child that causes them to become this. I pray everyone gets to meditate for life and be aware and see who they are and what harm they caused others. Every point in this video especially the denying they ever said or did something so hurtful. And I see this in young friends too. How we have to stand up and recognize if at all we ever even slightly lean towards become a mirror of what we see growing up, it’s our responsibility to put our own foot down call ourselves our call the ones who caused all this out, forgive everything that happened in the past (some things can scar for the remainder of life if we give it that power) & I found my way from distance go no contact and risk being alone for life but I no longer will be ok with sitting and being fearful just cuz it’s adult or it’s another man or whatever. Unacceptable is unacceptable in any form. Still I want to approach it with compassion. That’s the most difficult part and mediation helps in this. Big time! We can chose to be the example be sober show them the way the light in darkness, even if often it would go misinterpreted. Thank you for this video and all you share. It’s really helpful 🙏

My ex husband would drink daily starting after that last cup of coffee until he passed out at night. Boy he vould go into a rage that would last 3-4 hours. I was blamed for everything under sun and called horrible names all so he could "express his emotions."

[@chrisfoleys]

My narcissist partner goes crazy and says they dont remember!

[@berserkerbambi6094]

Alcohol does not make people do thi gs they don't want. It allows them to do what they want.

[@audiman879]

Mine was weirdly opposite she would get lovey dovey after she drank which she rarley did sober.

[@lemo_fpv]

My narc was getting very rude and more opened. And I had the feeling that she is more pleased about something. I never understood this, and was confused to see those complete opposite feelings (the hate from the argueing and her enjoyment) Now i understand it. ... Oh god

[@maxhammer4067]

My dad was a alcoholic narcissist he used to come home from the pub at 1am and set fires in the garden or house

[@mmp495]

Sounds like my dad during his binge drinking days. At one point my mom moved us out from our house into my grandmother's house while he drank, womanized and acted like he was single. In looking back my mom was just as sick for enabling his behaviors and doing nothing to stop that from happening. I told her one day "Mom I would've have thrown his ass in jail as he deserved." It felt good to say that. 😆

[@itzelvelasquez3079]

Their rage is nothing that you can put into words. Anything you say will trigger them and nothing will calm them down. Absolutely NOTHING!!!

[@Jooleah-Gooleah]

Thank you for sharing your views and expertise. I have been with a narcissist/alcoholic narcissist partner for almost a decade and I have recently been diagnosed with MDD and anxiety distress disorder as a result. I finally got the courage to call the police during an especially violent drunken attack and just let dispatch listen to what was going on and they sent units out to the scene. I am now trying to develop an escape plan and get to a domestic violence shelter and hopefully disappear from him forever. I'm so scared of losing everything but I'm equally scared of being killed at his hand, or even living like this for the foreseeable future. I had no idea he was truly a narcissist until your videos. I just thought he was displaying symptoms of his TBI and PTSD, but I was wrong. I was trying to be a supportive, patient partner because I thought all of it had to do with his disabilities. But in fact, it's so much worse than that.

[@GeoffreyLee369]

I'm convinced there is a demonic spirit behind this narcissistic behavior.

[@styracosaurusqvt4841]

Me too.

[@anneofgreengables1619]

💯 saw it many times.

[@SqueakySassy]

On today's episode we discuss: my dad 😂

[@Brummiebythesea]

So true the mask falls off as soon as they’re drinking alcohol! I couldn’t believe it when it 1 st happened I thought it was because they were drunk 🥴 oh no it just got worse! I’m 5 years free I moved away! Also called me the alcoholic 😮

[@SailingJourney-lj3wi]

My son is struggling with this. He stopped talking to me approximately six years ago. He blames me for everything. Six years ago he started was drinking heavy and started ranting. It was very scary how aggressive and angry he was. He had a lot of hard liquor that day/night. I am so concerned with his health.

[@pattyrooney1323]

Thank you, Danish for sharing your insight!

Great work Danish!! Keep up your great awareness on people 💯

[@BigBadVooDooMama]

This was my ex in a nutshell. Thank you for sharing this!

[@hairball1]

There are plenty of people who aren’t narcissists and have acted like that when they have had too much to drink. And people who barely drink. Alcohol has a unique way of converting anyone into a manic episode. This idea that anyone who drinks and then acts in any of these ways is a narcissist is absurd to me. Way more nuanced than that. I also love when drug and alcohol counclers chime in. Their whole industry is a scam. Success rate below 2%. Any business like that and yes it’s a business inthe private sector would be out on their ass in the first year. The only people they help are people who have decided to help themselves.

the narc i know actually only stays calm bc he gets his drinks… if that is taken away, he cannot sit with himself… then it gets worse… it’s better he gets what he wants

[@NadyisHungry]

[@rose-mariequaglieri3970]

Absolutely emphasizes the worst in them.I actually saw the devil with 100 rows of teeth siblings, parent, cousin-in-law worked together 😭😱😱😱 they each had their turn until I was so broken left in desperation with my children 😞 . The very next day the boss would call as if nothing happened 😳 ambushing New Year’s Eve . It’s over now finally at peace they’re still alive except for the father and cousin-in-law . Is it bad if I don’t miss them? The boss is still kicking but lost 👆 these two. My poor mom is a puppet the drunken puppeteer’s only source along with my younger sister 🤷🏻‍♀️ once my mom goes in peace, she’s 92 will be the only time she’ll have peace poor mom. God said “ let vengeance be mine ““ Romans 12:19 . My children and I survived them we are very fortunate. When mom goes they don’t exist anymore 🌹

some children have childhood memories of alcoholic narcissistic behavior of adults

[@MeelaBliss]

This is true and I can testify to this. I had to dive deep into myself because I too was addicted to alcohol and being with a narcissist b boyfriend made it worse. Actually, he was more of an addict. I was more of a social drinker. When I would speak truth, question him, or call out his obnoxious behavior, that's when the demeaning, curse words, 'shut the f-- up' and even physical abuse would occur. After the 2nd time, I knew it wasn't me, it was him. The alcohol exposed it.

[@irenehamilton2981]

Wow ikr that's bizarre

[@cefcat5733]

Ah, they just got worse, in what they do, this performance they do, 'for a living.' When criticised, I reminded them logically, that the door is not locked from the inside. Nothing prevents you from leaving, in order to have your 'freetime.' I think that they act like cold hot shit, instead of cold cold shit, under the influence of alcohol. You almost want to have empathy, for such pitiful creatures, but that would be rediculous. Also, one laughed, was mean, acted like they ruled the world, was quite obnoxious, criticised... and cried, all in about 8 minutes time, all of which is what I call 'flip-flopping.' I got a blank stare after I asked, 'why do you flip-flop'? They said, 'I don't know.' I always heard, 'Oh, you know me so well.' Then came more tears on part of the Narc. 'Yes, I know you, but that is not a reason to be together.' Another got very cold-hearted. There was no sign of the charming, hospitable person I had met. When I first saw this person, I said to myself, 'now who is this devil?' I could have changed history, if I would have ignored their advances, like showing up at my home uninvited. You know, I think that there was an old friend of mine, who thought that we might make a good couple. Maybe that person, gave the Devil my address. Maybe they were jealous or devilish themselves. I am against 'blind dates.' A friend's impression of someone, is not how they really are. Also, who knows how many games were being played on me, at the time. The good old friend might have wanted to hurt the partner of the Narc at that time. The old friend might have been laughing their head off at both, or all of us. There was no escape, as all worked for the same orgsnization. I'm also against relationships, with colleagues. The Narc and their 2 colleagues got into business. It was a big mess, where they all did each other in. Fate also hit them on the head. My life is OK. I made my choices, with the info I had. I had losses too. I moved on and far away from them, in spirit, with the new facts, which they provided for me. Those were all good decisions, in my mind. I have found my own kind of happiness and I don't think of them much, although, if they are alive, they could be on the same street, where I am doing some shopping. They don't live so far away. They gave me enlightenment, about the dark side of the world. The alcohol ended one 'relationship.' The other was ended by a show of brutality. Find a way, to not need them as a source of anything a human needs. Be self-sufficient from the beginning, so that you can recover when they have to leave. Don't be friendly, if you see them. Be emotionless. Keep moving, living YOUR life. ❤

[@Believe30]

Had a female friend and i am also. She physically attacked me a few times over the years. Her enabler husband blamed me. Last time i realized it was useless to see if she could be sober again. Met her d3cades b4 when she was sober. I guess i could tolerate her sober-self?

Narcisists feel entitled to abusing substances and people and since we can only control ourselves, we should walk away from abusers .

He wasn't like that with me, but the kids it did show a little. I just found out what I suspected of him since we were kids. He is a homosexual, but portray's himself heterosexual.

[@Sheila-wb7rt]

Ohh my gosh, They will definitely accuse you of it !!!

[@rayraysphone]

My narc ex is sober from alcohol and used the AA program as a way to remove 100% accountability from her past (and current) actions. When life is good, that's because of her choices, but when life is bad, it's because of God or the universe etc. Zero accountability.

[@MvdP4899]

My ex took 2 bottles of wine everyday.. When it wasn't wine, he changed it to wodka, I worked in a liquor store, he asked me to buy 9 liters of wodka every week. When I told him I wil lstop buying him this because he is an alcoholic, he got sooo angry and denied it all over the years. 4 months ago I finally broke up with him... He was on my door last day and said me he didn't drink this past 4 months... Like it was all on me. I was the problem. And yes, that was 1 of the million things he said to win me back. Now he see what he is missing, blablabla.. Really I Don't believe anything he says anymore. 😅

[@joannajohnson696]

The alcoholic narcissist I live with drinks every night. He gets large, critical & unstoppable. I have had to call the Sheriff to stop his violence & demand for more alcohol when he was already drunk beyond belief. He has no common sense. He thinks there are no "repercussions" or responsibility in his excess use of alcohol. One night he confessed he loved me & couldn't live without me. But he can't give up alcohol. I do not like Chaos or the drama that comes with the narc drunkedness.

[@andrewowldragonmoore1205]

Danish Bashir, I wanted to say thank you for your videos. Thanks to specialists like yourself, I've managed to have an easier time coping with my own family. Needless to say, I've been dealing with a narcissistic family member who has begun to decline and due to excessive alcohol consumption has been consistently causing harm to themselves and others in my family. I doubt you'll see this, but if you do I wanted to ask you a question about personal growth when recovering. Lately I've been having a lot of struggles with feelings of depression and problems with self worth. I am terrified of acting like or becoming like the narcissist in my own family. So my question is how do you know whether you yourself, have narcissistic tendencies? How can you prevent yourself from following in the narcissists' footsteps?
