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.

Infruriating I agree.

He's just gone out with the DDs and I'm tidying up and hanging washing out. I can guarantee when he gets back he'll say 'was it nice to have some time to yourself?'!!!!!

Mouse it's so weird with the job. The headhunter is SURE that it's not that someone else is in the running. I am very bored with all the dithering, for a very 'eminent' company it doesn't sound so good.

Thanks all for your kind wishes and keeping things crossed.

Time to yourself = washing, tidying, clearing up, etc.

Agian, PHA!!!!

How is that time to yourself? Do all men think along these lines or just our DHs?

The joys of housework!!!

DH is giving me a wide birth today for fear of gettng cleaned! When I'm hormental, I get really OCD about the house being clean! Drives him nuts!

My dh ahs annoyed me too - asked him to hang the washing out 2 hours ago as I was going out. Get ina nd it's still in the machine and now it's going to rain

Petty, I know! Am not really that angry, just don't understand men's logic :o

Oooo - today could be renamed as Wang Sunday!!

All these pesky DHs!!!

(wang is a backhanded slap but I once got told off on here for 'slapping' someone)

Mouse - glad you clarified that. Was contemplating telling dh I was going to wang him but worried he may get the wrong idea and forget to hang out the washing more often :o

Yay Mouse that is such a positive post! Well done for last night, you are really good at talking to everyone at once. [admiration emoticon]

wanging sounds like a very good idea! my dh does that 'not acknowledging' thing sometimes, drives me dolally!!, he can always hear me though when i call him for dinner tolear!! ha ha!!

i am quite happy to start the new thread, but someone else will have to do the links , havent quite figured that one out yet!

off to put some washing out here too! see you all later!

btw - we are all so bouncy today i think a party with all us attending would be great fun, we dont need the booze at all!!!

JWN - If you write the title and opening bit, like I did for this one, I'll link it once I see it ok?

Ooooo - yes a party!! I'll bring the cheesey nibbles, cheese on a stick, cheesey dips, cheese sarnies, cheesey wotsits!!!!

Bollocks by the time I cleverly compose a reply to someone, check spelling and do a 'does this sound ok or will it offend' paranoia sweep, there have been loads more post and the conversation has moved on. I will have to speed up

at MissP.

It's harder when there are a lot of folks all on here at once! Or even more than 2!!

right - i am going to start the new thread - see you all over there!

Didn't take long to fill this thread! Just been to the shop to buy my drink for tonight so it's nicely chilled - diet coke tonight!

New thread here

See you in a mo!!

Wait, wait, wait, there's still room for 35 more posts on here (well 34 after this one).

I might just keep posting on here myself. At least that way I'll always keep up with the previous post, and no stupid x-posting.

Well I'm back and I'm pleased to say that I'm on day 4 !! I'm happy but suffering of nasty headaches, is it normal?

Hi Gloupgloup - there is a new thread Mouse linked to it earlier. Isn't it good th have a sober Monday? :)

(Sorry, don't know if you know me I joined last Monday)

Oh, and I had the headaches but by Saturday they had gone.

Thank you toclearmyhead ! I'm going to repost there.

Ido

Someone else has probably already said this (still catching up with weekend's activity) ... but do his "meltdowns" remind you of your drinking?

Get thee to the new thread MIFLAW - you are needed over there!

Why can't I do links?

Would someone else copy the last to for all concerned, please?

Thanks

I'll do it for you........

here is the smart recovery one

and here is the rational one

If it is of any comfort, I think everyone on this thread has 'slipped' apart from the great jwn and vandm. You are not alone. Stop counting days and stop beating yourself up!! Read my thread by John Coates, who has 'healed' people for 20 years in his 'recovery' centre. He has admitted publicly (on Amazon) that he is unable to help even himself!!!

Stop beating yourselves up!!
