Brave Battling Babes - Booze No More!!

978 replies

Mouseface · 30/07/2010 23:47

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.

Would be difficult in future to explain to new posters why your name was CBTBPBISRF*QMIFLAW

MIFLAW · 06/08/2010 14:25

That's the only thing that's prevented me using it more often

RedMoomin · 06/08/2010 14:25

I am so trying not to laugh at my desk - I have no idea how I could explain it!

Mouseface · 06/08/2010 14:26

Loving the Tigga like signature MIFLAW!!

Watch out, she'll have you for that! Grin

Yes Red, I almost spat water over the floor!!

Hi MouseGrin

RedMoomin · 06/08/2010 14:58

What are you up to this afternoon MissP? I am 'working' - and counting down to the weekend. For so many years Friday was the signal to get down the pub... and now it means AA meeting to me! How times change...

venusandmars · 06/08/2010 14:59

Hi MissP, haven't 'spoken' to you on here. Welcome, and well done on your efforts. I lurked for a while at the beginning too, didn't dare to post while I was still drinking.

RedMoomin · 06/08/2010 15:47

That was a bit of a burst of intense work there, think I need a lie down. Roll on 5pm!

RedMoomin · 06/08/2010 16:26

Right lovely Babes, I will try to at least have a quick visit over the weekend. It feels so long until Monday - and there may even be a new thread by then!

Thank you all for your friendship and support for another week. I hope we all have sober, safe and serene weekends!

Bye for now x

Mouseface · 06/08/2010 16:27

Bye gorgeous Red!!

Have a wonderful weekend! Hope the hair dying goes well!! xx

Bye Red. Have an excellent weekend.

venusandmars · 06/08/2010 16:31

Algee if you are lurking, have a good weekend. Is dh back tonight? I have been so busy while dp is away, I've organised loads of things and I'm off to see an art exhibition this evening. But tomorrow I have nothing planned (yet), which may be a danger. Wish me strength.

RedMoomin · 06/08/2010 16:31

Oh yes, I will report back on the results! x

Mouseface · 06/08/2010 16:41

I'm wobbling. I'll keep you company when you need me to ok? Smile

RedMoomin · 06/08/2010 16:45

Think how positive you have been up to now mouse, you have been doing so well. You have no need for booze. It won't make things better. You can do it!

Mouseface · 06/08/2010 16:50

Red,it's because it's friday night..... that's all.

I AM NOT GIVING IN!!

Just sharing my wobbley bits with you Wink

OP posts:
RedMoomin · 06/08/2010 16:55

I am with you on the Friday night thing. And of course you can share the wobble (and the wobbly bits too!) - was just trying to give you some strength!

Mouseface · 06/08/2010 16:59

You did my lovely, you did. Smile

MissPerrier · 06/08/2010 17:22

RedMoomin Have a lovely weekend If i'm not too late.
Venus Hello enjoy your exhibition!
Mouse Yep TGIF has a whole new meaning now! I'm having something fattening for Dinner, don't care what as long as its naughty (in a calorific way). A lovely bubble bath, and I might watch Mistresses on 'catch up" if the men in my life don't hog the telly!!! Hmm

MissPerrier · 06/08/2010 17:28

OK it's going to be chocolate custard poured over chocolate brownie(s) possibly nuked (suns gone it feels Autumnal here) may add one strawberry as part of my 5 a day! Grin

Mouseface · 06/08/2010 17:34

MissP - that strawbery will play a crucial part in the quest for 5 a day!! Grin

It was going to be Southern Style Breaded Chicken from M&S with new potatoes and garden peas but given the way I feel, and how grey, cold and utterly miserable the weather is, it may have to be dead dog on a pitta - AKA - a kebab!!

Where has the summer gone??!!!

Ooh - yes, Mitresses! I Sky+ it. No change of it tonight...... DH would roll his eyes so much they may well roll out of his head! Grin

Right, drinks for tonight will be the usual pomegranate, apple and raspberry juice, served long and tall with a heap of ice and maybe a can of diet coke as a treat!!!

Then Ovaltine for bed!

Oh what a whirlwind night I have planned!!! Grin
