Hello.

I'm Mouse and I've been on the bus for 2 months now and not fallen off it as yet. It's much more comfortable than The Wagon! Grin

Anyway, this is thread number nine!

Everyone is welcome to join at any point of the journey, drinking or not, wanting to stop or just to cut down.

Jump on board, you won't be judged, just supported whatever you decide. Smile

Here is the history of The Brave Babes if you want to have a read.

It was tongue in cheek!!! I am a very considerate driver who has been cut up by many buses!!

However Wasindie thankyou for taking over at the wheel

Finally I get to drift off and contemplate the coutryside passing by.

Any one got a fag???!!!

Mouseface · 04/10/2010 13:41

No smoking on the bus I'm afraid. Or drinking booze.

Cakes and chocolate a plenty but no booze and fags!

IloveBafanaBafana · 04/10/2010 19:05

thanks mouseface
I am 37, 2 kids, 1 DP
Drinking goes through stages
Totally manageable slowly sinking into unmanageble, Followed by a self arse kick - which leads to managable for a short time again
Am tired of waking up and not knowing when or how I got to bed.
Tired of dreading work, coz of what I may have done or said. Tired of not being able to drink like a normal person.

I frightened myself and my kids on Saturday. My DP frightened all of us.

We have a really lovely life, why the F**K am I so determined to ruin it by consistently being an arse!!

So here I am getting on the bus, and making the decision to stop!!!

Mouseface · 04/10/2010 19:33

Well, the bus is a great place to start, the rest is up to you but we'll support you, whatever you want to do. Smile
