The Brave Babes Battle Bus - Driving Through The Autumn Scenes, Searching For Our Sober Dreams.

[Mouseface]

Hello, I'm Mouse :) Welcome to the Bus, (aka Gerald ).

I'm one of the Brave Babes on board this fabulous Bus of travellers, all in search of their sobriety in one form or another.

We have those who drink in moderation, those who have a set pattern of days on and off the booze, and we have posters who have been sober for minutes, hours, days, weeks, months or years.

There are two lines that the Bus has painted down the side, one on each -

The Vulnerable Need Our Support, Not Our Judgement and Alcohol Fosters Inertia

So, if you think you're drinking too much or you're worried about another person, then come find a seat.

We get through our days chatting about all sorts of things, life is, after all, full of plenty of things to fuel our desire to drink, and we're all very different people

However, our common goal is sobriety. :)

Hello everyone

Phew I thought the bus had left the station!

Still here, still sober, busy weekend planned including a large one in Notts on Saturday. All my friends know I don't drink (and some of them why) so there shouldn't be any probs. Have my exit strategy planned if it all gets too much and I am driving.

How do you celebrate Friday? I've just had two massive pieces of cake, baked and decorated by my darling son (we go to the local community college - to do a cake decorating course together)

I've also got voluntary work this evening at a local yoot club - that keeps me busy during the witching hour and Saturdays I'm either out with family or go to an AA meeting.

Have a safe weekend y'all

Haha Isinde I love the way rural snuck a post in there at the end of the last thread. It actually went over the limit to 1001 posts, just to make sure you weren't the last one

Obrigada fab to see you back, how's tricks?

Hi everyone

Well the pub is calling me tonight if I can find a partner in crime. My house is a shit pit, i can't stand to sit in it and too tired and in pain to clean it. Can't stand to look at DHs pained face all night ( the mildest case of man-flu rendering him incapable of anything for two days - except loafing, eating and drinking beer (confused) ) I REALLY need to get out. Can you stop the bus a sec for me to hop over into the sidecar!

Green are you sure that's what you really want? How will it make you feel better? You can get out of the house for other things. You can kill 3 hours at the cinema.

Have my partner, escape planned. Now to tell DH i'm buggering off!

If you don't stop I'll press the ejector seat! My fuck it button is jammed on and I'll probably come crawling back on the bus in the morning.

Sorry babes not particularly inspirational I know but an inescapable itch I have to scratch today.

Take care, come back tomorrow x

Sorry faire cross posted. Didn't mean to sound so dramatic. I'll be fine. I do have a stop button ( of sorts) daily drinking is my biggest issue as opposed to bingeing or dependency ( though have been there before years ago) so I will not be opening the floodgates so to speak. I am in a dangerous mood however and looking for some mayhem. Expect it will be three glasses of wine in the local and toddle off home in reality!

Ok

Try to have a big drink of water before going to sleep x

Thank you faireegodmother :)

Hello Babes

I've been on a mad shuttle bus today which managed to take 45 minutes to travel 6 miles. (Including a detour via the sewage works) so if you don't mind, I'll sit up on the roofrack today instead of inside another Bus

Saving a seat quetly wherever there's a space...
