brave battling babes get even better without the booze!

[jesuswhatnext]

10 weeks ago i started a thread asking for help - i was in a very desperate place, totally dependent on alchohol, unhappy, lonely and floundering around trying to make sense of it all. i was in danger of losing everything i hold dear.

in those few short weeks, i have got my life back and picked up a few computer friends along the way - we help each other, support each other, and laugh and cry together - if you would like to join us, please feel free - no judging, preaching, sermonising or moralising - we are simply ordinary people with a bloody awful illness!

Also really, really want a cigarette. But I don't have any!

Yes, it shall be the 'Brave Babes Battle Bus' from here on in, a double decker with a loo, spa and mocktails for all!!! Lush

Have something hot and stodgy. Chips, or cheese on toast and some fresh orange if you can. Then get in bed and sleep my lovely.

We'll tuck you in and keep you safe if you like, in a non stalker weird way of course!!

The Battle Bus sounds fabulous!

Yes, am going to have cheese on toast and then get into bed. And thank you for keeping me safe. This thread really is a safe haven.

Hey all...ditched dd at park (under supervision, I hasten to add)... see you're going home moomin. Have a safe afternoon, comfort food, tea and sleep. Tomorrow your body will feel a bit better and you can begin agin...

My drinkimg is becoming a little problematic. I pretty much polished off a 1ltr bottle of Hennessey to myself last night There is ony a smidge left when DH see it he will go mental

I'm aso on anti depressants and had a shit day yesterday hence hitting the bottle a bit too hard..

I feel like crap today. shaky. wobbly. and want the day to end so I can feel better tomorrow.

This is day 1 for me.

I'm glad this thread is here so if I feel the need to have a drink I can type here for support.

Hello shiny, welcome! Lovely to 'meet' you! I am also on Day 1 (again!) I also take ADs and feel shaky, wobbly just like you! What are you doing with yourself today?

Hi algee - thanks for your kind words! I will definitely be being gentle with myself this afternoon. Zzzz!

hello shiny! ugh, a bottle of brandy, no wonder you feel shitty! welcome aboard the bus!

Hello Shiny

Hello shiny...welcome!

OK Babes, shortly time for me to go home. Thank God for that. Just want to lie down after I have stuffed myself with comfort food! Thanks for all the lovely words and hugs this morning. You're all fab.

Redmoomin Just want to wish you well this afternoon, before you go. I'm having Dental Health issues, so i'm off too.

redmoomin, just popping in before you go. have a good sleep and focus on getting to your meeting later. From what you've posted before you will really feel the benefit.

Be kind to yourself. xx

The party has started without me - it's like my drinking days all over again!

Red

Were you after me?

Thank you all - really needed your support this morning and you gave it to me.

MIFLAW I expect there to be some kick ass posts from you when I get back tomorrow!

"My drinkimg is becoming a little problematic. I pretty much polished off a 1ltr bottle of Hennessey to myself last night There is ony a smidge left" - aah, the alcoholic sense of humour - it's why I love AA meetings ...

You're here! Just as I am about to go. Just needed some ass kicking as I drank over the weekend and now am feeling shit. Funnily enough!

Busy morning on here - hang on, will set aside half an hour to catch up!!

Well, you've done it yourself, haven't you? You drank, you feel shit and, luckily, you have not ended up dead, in prison or sectioned. Try to hold onto that shit feeling and work out why it happened - as in, why did you think you'd get away with it?

Thanks MIFLAW - will do as you have suggested.

Welcome to all the new passengers! Mouse - I could definitely use your list, I picture you like a teacher with the register looking at us over your specs. (high fives mouse on matching Day 8's - I am finding it bloddy hard but amazing each morning when I've clocked up another. Was this close to the vodka last night)
And MIFLAW is the stern conductor keeping us in line. :o
