For SoftStuff, tyedye and anyone else who wants to join.

The rules are that you HAVE to sign in every night to let us know TRUTHFULLY how much you have drunk. You need to let us know your triggers too. So if you resisted for 12 hours but then cracked and had a beer - what finally snapped?

We'll be here to give you encouragement, support, advice and opinions.

I have just promised myself that i'm not going to drink a drop, all weekend.

kokeshi · 28/04/2006 13:02

Softstuff, I think it's healthy for all of us to admit these things. It doesn't make us shameful people, it was a result of being incapacitated. You have to separate who you are from who you become when you're drunk. And when you've been drinking for a while, sometimes this is hard to do.

I know lots of apparently sober women who cant be arsed to "put-out"Its just another bloody chore to face just when you thought you had finished for the day!until you make yourself do it and then its really nice!

Same here vouge. Before kids we were at it like rabbits. I used to get all hot just thinking about him. Once I had DD - went off it and him. Waited 5 years and 1 miscarriage to get DS. I feel like he is a good friend or even a brother, but I just don't fancy him. I've read all the self-help books about having weekends away from kids in romantic hotels, candlelight meals, lacy underwear, massage oil etc, but it all seems so contrived and false... like play-acting. I reckon there is no cure, unless I get a mad rush of hormones in mid-life or something.

I read "Scarlett"magazine to put me in the mood!

SoftStuff · 28/04/2006 13:13

Kokeshi, I'm not sure it's healthy for me to admit stuff. I don't like people knowing.

I think i'm going to have to go to bed for a bit, I feel all shivery. Stupid stomach hurts too.

kokeshi · 28/04/2006 13:14

themoon66 · 28/04/2006 14:01

Oooh we've all gone quiet...

kokeshi · 28/04/2006 14:05

lol...thought I'd scared everyone off!

themoon66 · 28/04/2006 14:12

Thought everyone had gone after reading about my miserable sex life Sad

kokeshi · 28/04/2006 14:15

Maybe this thread has depressed everyone that much that they've gone to the pub, hee hee!

themoon66 · 28/04/2006 14:17

Am going myself in a min. Am at work and everyone else is either off sick, on leave, or buggered off early. I finish officially at 2.30pm, so I might slip off now and get my car taxed and other jobs done. Trying to avoid Threshers as I drive home of course.

kokeshi · 28/04/2006 14:18

Actually themoon, I was reading a report the other day about research into a treatment for female sexual dysfunction...It's different than Viagra in that it stimulates the pleasure centres in your brain and causes that mad rush of hormones you were talking about. Don't know when it will be in the shops though....Grin

kokeshi · 28/04/2006 14:20

Have a good evening then...I'm just off to pick up my nephew xxx

themoon66 · 28/04/2006 14:20

DH would think i'd gone mad if I took a tablet and pounced on him one night!!! He might die of shock.

SoftStuff · 28/04/2006 17:54

I feel so ill, I never get affected like this, my head feels like it's going to explode now and i've just been sick. Yuck. Sad I am giving up, I feel like death.

SoftStuff · 28/04/2006 18:22

Any ideas? i've taken paracetamol already but i'm not sure how much i absorbed..

blueteddy · 28/04/2006 18:26

Have you tried eating something? I sometimes feel much better after I have eaten something to soak it all up. Toast is quite good.

SoftStuff · 28/04/2006 18:28

I had some cereal then soup earlier. I've honestly not felt this rough in a very long time. This can be a lesson to any of you who think about having 2 bottles after a few days without anything.

blueteddy · 28/04/2006 18:32

It is horrible feeling that rough isn't it?
Did you drink on an empty stomach?
Try to eat something else - maybe some toast or a sandwich. (I find bread can be quite good to soak everything up)

SoftStuff · 28/04/2006 18:37

Virtually empty, I had cereal and soup yesterday too! I'll go and try and eat something now.
