Hello, welcome to thread five!! Smile

I'm Mouse and I'm 10 whole days sober which is bloody amazing given that I would normally consume nearly 90 units per week! And that's without 'special occasions'!! Shock

So, if I can do it, you can do it! The support here is awesome, no matter where you are in your quest to quit. No judging, no cliquey groups.

We are just real, honest people. All helping each other to give up the booze. Come meet the other Brave Babes........................

And for those who would like to read the adventures so far, here are the links from the first four threads!

JWN's original thread (the reason we are all here)

I recommend this to anyone struggling with 'addictions' and nothing more to Trin, except, are you trying to win money with the Magnums competition. I met a (very very nice) woman who told me that she was so addicted to competitions that she had taken a top job in Manchester children's social services on the basis that it meant she would be constantly out and about in her car so she could go to different supermarkets according to the competition offers that they offered. It must have been sometime ago. Anyway, as a competition veteran, she told me she was buying (but not eating) magnums, just for the competition value. She retired sometime ago, so I am not outing her. That was all for Trin, re Magnums.

Hello, venus here reserving a seat near the front of the bus, next to an open window so I don't get travel sick. I'll leave the back seat to all the MIFLAW lovies who will try and tempt him up there Wink

RedMoomin · 12/08/2010 11:43

Right, I want to sit near the back... always wanted to be cool but just never quite made it!

Hammy have you made it over here yet?

Toclearmyhead · 12/08/2010 11:49

Red - I never quite made the back seat at school either, love that you want to sit near the back not quite on the back seat though :o

RedMoomin · 12/08/2010 11:56

Honestly it's mad how these things from school etc can still hang about isn't it?! OK, that's it! Budge up mouse and trinity I want to sit on the back seat too!

Toclearmyhead · 12/08/2010 11:58

I'll shimmy nearer the back as well, sod being in the middle :o

venusandmars · 12/08/2010 12:09

I may be sitting down the front, clutching my handbag on my lap, and reading People's Friend, but I can hear everything that you girls up the back are saying. And I WILL be keeping a close eye on you all when MIFLAW comes along.

maddogsandenglishmen · 12/08/2010 12:11

Is the back seat already full?? Oh no, I wanted to do moonies Grin

Toclearmyhead · 12/08/2010 12:17

NOTICE

Do NOT stand forward of this notice

Hello everyone Smile and an extra wave for Hammy and Lastone!

Day 4 here for me and I definitely won't be drinking today - it was mentioned on the earlier thread about just not having that first glass and I'm drumming that into my head.

Funny thing is I only really like the initial sensation of the first or second glass - but can't stop at that. I get greedy and spoil it for myself so for now, not drinking is how I hope to rein myself in. I feel really tired but know it's just the 'poison' working its way out of my system.

Mouse - will email you for the list, thanks!
