Hello, welcome to thread five!! Smile

I'm Mouse and I'm 10 whole days sober which is bloody amazing given that I would normally consume nearly 90 units per week! And that's without 'special occasions'!! Shock

So, if I can do it, you can do it! The support here is awesome, no matter where you are in your quest to quit. No judging, no cliquey groups.

We are just real, honest people. All helping each other to give up the booze. Come meet the other Brave Babes........................

And for those who would like to read the adventures so far, here are the links from the first four threads!

Hello all, just off on holiday now. See you all next week. Be safe, be sober.

Christi, whatever shit is going on, you are doing the best thing by not drinking.

Trinity, have a great BBQ, and be gentle with yourself this week. Day 9. Wow!

RedMoomin · 18/08/2010 11:21

Have a lovely time Venus... om...

RedMoomin · 18/08/2010 11:27

desire - I really know that you mean about the impatience. When I go on a diet I want to have lost a stone by the start of day 2 being just one example! I think it's looking for instant gratification or something. How are you doing today?

desiretochange · 18/08/2010 11:53

Morning Moomin, feeling a lot better today, actually felt a bit more motivated this morning as on my way to work I met two girls I know and both were looking absolutely terrific.
Before you think I have gone a little loopy, the first girl spent 6 weeks last year drying out as she finally admitted she was an alcoholic. She is now almost a year clean.
Two years ago the second girl lost almost 4 stone in weight and has managed to keep it off.
They just made me feel that anything is possible:)

RedMoomin · 18/08/2010 11:54

desire - you are right anything is possible! You can achieve anything you want to x

desiretochange · 18/08/2010 12:20

Positive thoughts today Moomin:)

RedMoomin · 18/08/2010 12:49

That's great desire!

Just to let you all know that mouse has texted me to say she is surviving her hols and it still sober!

And the other thing: amazing computer fairy vibes are required at 2.30pm tomorrow for my bank visit. Just so you all know Wink

desiretochange · 18/08/2010 12:54

Will be sending amazing computer fairy vibes to you tomorrow Moomin:)
Nice one Mouse:)

RedMoomin · 18/08/2010 12:55

Thank you desire - I will need them. Argh!

desiretochange · 18/08/2010 14:04

Everyone asleep??

RedMoomin · 18/08/2010 14:13

I am here! Very busy at work though - normally I would be on here demanding to know where everyone was and how they were. How are you this afternoon desire? What are you up to at the moment?

MissPerrier · 18/08/2010 14:15

A very good afternoon to all you fairies. Miss P would like to put a thumbs up for sober sheet shuffling... try saying that after 2 diet cokes and a cranberry surprise! Grin

RedMoomin · 18/08/2010 14:18
Grin
desiretochange · 18/08/2010 14:19

Am at work Moomin but quiet enough here today so online more than normal, just thought maybe everyone was gone for a siesta:)

RedMoomin · 18/08/2010 14:21

Sounds like MissP might have Wink!

desiretochange · 18/08/2010 14:22

Oh am so jealous:o
Been a few years since I was sheet shuffling:)

MissPerrier · 18/08/2010 14:24

Hi Red sorry to hear about the bank! I will be thinking of you tomorrow at 2.30 Smile

MissPerrier · 18/08/2010 14:26

Oh Red and Desire behave, with 2 thumping great teenagers around chance would be a fine thing!Grin

RedMoomin · 18/08/2010 14:58

Oh well MissP! Hopefully you will get some peace sooner rather than later! (And thank you for the banking good wishes!)

Well, my rush at work has passed for the moment... how's everyone doing out there?

wasindie - there's always a seat on the bus for you lovely! So nice to hear from you. Day 4 - better than day 1 Wink And 2 whole hours when the babies slept at the same time - you are being spoilt Grin!

RedMoomin · 18/08/2010 15:11

I am MoominMags by the way - in case my cunning disguise has fooled you (in your sleep-deprived state that may actually happen!)
