All Aboard The Brave Babes Battle Bus!

[Mouseface]

Hello, welcome to thread five!!

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'!!

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!

JWN's original thread (the reason we are all here)

Thread four

So true Red, even on the occasions when I knew I had said and done nothing wrong I still felt so bad about myself. I gave myself a harder time then anyone else did:(

I think that being with someone who is not drinking makes people feel that they are doing something "bad" and the other person is somehow stronger. Or that the non-drinking is judging them (even if they're not). Whereas if you are both drinking, no one is "good" and no one is "bad" IYSWIM.

Bit like tucking into a huge chocolate cake with the other person saying "Oh no, I don't eat dessert". Would you feel completely comfortable enjoying the cake?

Very complicated this no drinking:)

I do not consider myself dissed if that helps

Very complicated this no drinking

So true!

Hope you've heard something back Trinity and that it's better news.

Now if MIFLAW was about he'd say something along the lines of: "It's not bloody complicated. What's hard about not picking up the first drink?!"

Anyway, Babes hope everyone has wonderful evenings... I have the flat to myself, plenty of diet coke and chocolate and a good book to finish. Bliss!

Stay safe. Stay sober.

God, he is about! It's like magic

Aw MIFLAW you are seen on this thread as the voice of reason, he who will be adored, listened to etc:)
And who am I but a mere newcomer to challenge the main man:):):)

As MIFLAW is just too happy to say, he might like to think he's god but he's not!

Sorry - MIFLAW, I am sure you can speak for yourself!

Oh Red am sensing a little flirting here:) not with me of course but with MIFLAW:):):)

Stop it! I'm trying to get him over here, to sit with me.

You two are destracting him.

Pha!!

Have a great evening Red xx

My God, I will never be able to mention M*** again! Actually I was flirting with you desire

OK, this is getting all kinds of weird - again!!

See you all tomorrow x

Little bit weird alright:):)

As long as we don't all start throwing our knickers at him it'll all be OK

If I hit him with my bra I would knock him out and how popular would I be then:):) NOT

I see myself as Charlie to your Angels

This Angel signing off for today, hope to keep myself busy this evening and avoid any temptation to indulge in alcohol. Hope everyone has a good night, talk tomorrow.

Well guess what? Internet fairies can be real. I just met a really lovely one. She is fab

What's all this giggling I hear?

Oh, MIFLAW's boarded the bus I see :o

Oh, did you meet up with Christi? That's great!

of your meet venus. I bet she is too!!!

desire - Snap re hitting MIFLAW with my JCB buckets bra! He'd be sparko!! See you tomorrow. Have a lovely evening.

Yes, venus and I have met. We sat outside, drinking our tea, under a rather large parasol.

Queue the most spectacular thunderstorm. The rain was so loud we could hardly hear eachother.

But venus is amazing. She is really really clever, really smart, very intuitive, and just awfully knowledgable. She made me feel relaxed and like I CAN get a job. Her tips for my CV and for interviewing have made me feel much better. Bring it on!

DH is still recovering from nealry having burnt house down. i think that might be our low and hopfully all up from now on.

Been to doc for knees been told no running for a while!

Bollocks have I missed the bus!
