Brave Battling Babes - Booze No More!!

[Mouseface]

Well, thanks to the refreshingly honest and inspirational JesusWhatNext - this is the third thread, for the battle to beat the booze for all of those who are on the path to do so.

Some are sober, some are trying to be and some are still drinking.

I'm Mouse, I'm new to this and I'm scared. So, come and join the journey.

I have a filthy mind. Please ignore my sniggering at 'varied shades and colours of rabbits'.

I think we may scare MIFLAW off today!

Not scared yet - though I must admit that the Big Book has little to say on these matters so I am bit out of my depth ...

I should imagine that MIFLAW has dealt with far worse than talk of hair dye, exercise and, erm, pets.

at pets!

I think my dds are refering to the sort of mid brownish greyish colour that wild rabbits are. And there was something about the way in which they say it that indicates it is rabbit-coloured, but not in a good way.

OK ladies and MIFLAW,

Time to go for me! Have lovely, safe and sober evenings. Catch up with you all tomorrow x

Bye Moomin. xx

Night moomin! Have a good one.

hi and bye moomin! have a lovely evening!

its really odd you lot should have been talking about hair and things today - i have just been chating with my friend about the fact that i feel so very 'girly' atm! , i have lost a another 4lbs, and amde appointment with my lovley beauty therapist for tomorrow evening (so everyhting will be plucked, waxed and polished! , sound a bit like a vintage car now! oops!) my hair is total 'blonde-bomb-shell' has been for years and i love it, wouldnt have it any other way, i have no idea i have have any grey and no wish to find out!

snurk at rabbit hair!

sounds like everyone is feeling really positive!

well done on all this exercise (you nutters! ) very soft yoga is all i can manage, i think that is because it involves a lot of lying down!

christi - glad the interview went well, im sure you did better than you realise, ime, nerves always make us focus on anything we cock-up and we forget the good bits iyswim?

trinity, well done on another day, how is the major spring-clean going?

i am off to meditaion class in a mo, looking forward to that - had a good day all round really, i didnt get to meeting as dd came home and we went out for a bit of lunch and a mouch round the shops. i have a very posh party in a marquee to attend in september, i keep looking for 'the dress', but tbh, the rate im losing weight i think i will hang on for a while before i shell out.

must go, be back later!

Heading into my major danger zone so I am off out again. Think I will go for a walk to really tire myself out. Have a session with my therapist tomorrow, have I mentioned my MASSIVE issues Am debating whether to tell her about this no drinking tbh. I don't want her delving too deep into it til I 'own' it iykwim.

glass i've got my therapy tomorrow and not sure whether to mention it either. I think sometimes I've loaded her with so much there's not much more that she would believe!

But I guess they'll have dealt with a lot worse.

You haven't mentioned your ishoos, want to share?

Thanks for everyone's support here for the interview. The base of my neck is soooo tense I must have been on heightened alert all morning!

I am going to do my Shred now. DIdn't manage to sleep earlier but sure exercise will make me feel better. JWN I'm very tempted to book myself in for a massage but can't afford it. Have to wait till DH back tomorrow.

And I must be very prim because I've no idea what you guys are going on about, rabbits?

glass remember, as last night, these feelings will pass!

In case anyone is wondering, the Big Book is available online. You do not have to buy it.anonpress.org/bb/

Just lurking and feeling encouraged .
Too exhausted with life to contribute anything meaningful .
But crossing fingers for our 2 job interviewees .

Trinity try to hold on.

I'm struggling here too, have been for 2 hours. Bloody hell.

I came on here to strengthen my resolve - to read thfrough and distract myself

Remember how you felt this morning

Day 5 - you will feel good tomorrow too if you hold on x

hi toclearmyhead

I';m holding on

just

Trinity hang on in there for a bit .
Have some tea/chocolate /icecream ?
A bath ?
Jump up and down on the spot and scream?
Just keep ticking the minutes off ,keep that nasty bully alchahol ( I can't spell it ! ) on the ropes for a bit longer .
Think about tomorrow morning .

Hi, I've done some exercise and still feeling sick and grim. Kind of think a glass of wine would 'cut through it' and wonder if it's just adrenaline that's kept me going the last ten days.

So we are all having a tough day, hey trin and toclear. We've just got to get through a few bad moments, then we'll be fine. We can do it. Girls, go and make some tea or have a long refreshing drink and something to eat.

I'm going to. Back later.

Trinity - well done for holding on ,just keep going .
You can do it .

I have ice cream, going to eat it
