The Brave Babes Battle Bus - Carry On Past The Park Bench!

[HammerMouseOfHorrors]

Hello

I'm Mouse and one of the Brave Babes on the Battle Bus.

The bus is never full and you'll find a real mix of people on board, all with the same goal.

To take control of their drinking. Whether that's to stop completely or cut right down.

Everyone is welcome to get on the bus at any point. You will receive a warm welcome and plenty of support.

Some come meet the others.........

The journey so far.

thank you all so much.

I did get your PM mouse thanks, I did get one of MNHQ saying i'd have to post on it again saying that I had asked for it to be pulled. But I honestly couldn't have faced doing that so thanks a million for reporting it as well.

I just don't know what the fuck is wrong with me - i don't enjoy being that pissed, know wat a bad affect it's having on us all and yet I STILL do it.

I've spoke to myelf so many times, have felt so positive and in control - and in my head I am! but obviously not in real life.

I really can't figure myself out.

I don't know if there's anything to figure out. I'm not sure any of could say exactly why we drink, when there are so many reasons not to. I reckon it's just a matter of getting through the days one at a time.

But what do I know, eh?

dich - you need to stay. You will find so much help here.

YOU HAVE NOT AND WILL NOT BE JUDGED!

We are all in this together. Been where you are, in your shoes and probably puked in them too!!

Just stay. Get through today and worry about tomorrow in the morning and BTW, you DID post that the thread was going to be deleted.

Everyone understood why. xx

I agree mouse -- I didn't puke in shoes but remember coming home once and not remembering how I lost mine ....

oh right sorry, I thought I had said that on this thread.

lrp well yes, you're right I guess, it has to be one day at a time

mouse thanks, I still feel awkward though - may name change yet.

Just really want to thank everybody here for the support you've given, the understanding you've shown and, above all, th kindness that's been extended my way from you all - I appreciate it so much

Dich I haven't seen your whole story, but please don't give up on the brave babes bus, as a serial lurker it has already helped me so much and we have all been there and done that, so stay with us... we all need each other.

dich - balls to it. Don't name change.... just carry on regardless.

You can do this. You can carry on and post and the next drama will cover yours. I am NOT saying that you are any less important than anyone else but the vipers and vultures of MN will move on to someone else in no time.

Stay. We all love ya here doll.

Plenty of room on the bus xx

ahh dich - dont bother with the name change, it makes no odds to us what you did!, if we all wrote down our most embrassing moments MN would run out of space!!, i have done some dreadful things when drunk, including putting the saftey of my dd at risk!, the thing is, be honest, admit you got it wrong and move on, do something about it! - perhaps you need outside help to come off the booze, we are all differant and it can affect us all in differant ways - just dont give up trying, thats all you can do!

btw, anyone who believes them selves to perfect is a right twat in my eyes!, so, as mouse says, the vipers and vultures can fuck off!, a person should never be so smug as to think it cant all come crashing down at some point!!

off to cook dh some dinner - had a good day, cleared up from dinner party last night, which, i might add, i enjoyed very much, i was sober, so the food was up to scratch and i didnt feel like deep fried dog shit this morning! [hgrin], my lovely friends all gave me flowers so the house looks super today!, they always used to bring me loads of wine and then i would spend the next day puking so, progress i think! [hgrin]

dich - can't remember - did I give you your ticket? Anyway here's another just in case - find a seat and settle down - you are among friends now xxxxxx

JWN different not differant darling - get it right - oops think I am now so comfortable on here that my mother(my mother) /teacher(my mother) syndrome is going to come out and I will be correcting spellings as we go along .............this is not good.. [hhmm] xxxx

and I second what JWN/Zombie says there dich - ALL WE CAN DO IS KEEP TRYING.....[GRIN] XX

dichotomy why leave?? Why don't you give yourself a new name? How you feeling? How's dd?

silver - you may correct my spelling if you wish, just bear in mind that i have sent my spellchecker thing dolally!, i like to think of my spelling style as unique, not wrong! [hgrin] (besides, you knew what i meant so whats the fucking problem! [hgrin])

Hi everyone, could I reserve a seat please? I have a problem with alcohol, I was determined not to drink tonight but I have gave in

Ive been trying to quit for weeks saying to myself 'I'll deffo start from next week' but so far Ive not managaed it.

Me and DH are determined to start from tomoz so I wanted to prebook my place if thats ok.

No problem JWN - I just can't help myself -I think it has a lot to do with being brought up by a teacher. However - when it comes to maths - and somehow I got a 'A' level in it (granted it was an E) - I sit next to DD at table with a calculater hidden at my side......and panic slightly eveytime she brings homework out - The Egyptians love - eerm - ask your father - Right The Tudors - lived in black and white houses? - Oh here we go - The Elizabethens - no feking idea...........shall we Google it.........you get the idea [hgrin] xxxxx

Don't worry I am not so smug as to realise this is just a baby step, but wanted to share with you.

Dh and i given up too. One thing to remember is that the intense wine o'clock cravings don't last all night, they dissipate quite quickly. I always forget this

Night Babes - tomorrow is another day and Gerald will be leaving VERY early - we need to catch the sunshine in the late morning... xx
