The Brave Babes Battle Bus - Carry On Past The Homebrew In The Shed!

[HammerMouseOfHorrors]

Hello, I'm Mouse.

Welcome to the Brave Babes Bus. You can get on at any point in the journey, there is plenty of room, it's free to ride and there is always someone who will be along to hold your hand over the speedbumps!

So, no matter where you are in your quest to quit the booze, join us for support, advice and a fair few laughs along the way

There is no judging, no cliques, just real poster with real problems being real and honest!

Come and meet the others.....

Here is the previous thread where you can read all of the threads so far, including JWN's original thread and the reason we are all here.

Hey Mouse:)How's things with you today?

New meds so I'm a bit EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKK! And yet again my wisdom tooth is giving me hell. I'm back to the dentist on Wednesday so I'm betting more mega strong anti-b's are on the cards.

And if they don't work, bye bye tooth!

Nemo is in whingy arse mode. DH is driving me nuts. DD is keeping her head down and I'm just grumbling under my breath as I wander around clearing up after everyone as per.....

How are you lovely?

Not your tooth again Mouse:( it was the same two months ago and am I right in thinking in co-incided with new meds that time as well
All quiet with me, counselling cancelled this afternoon which is probably just as well as have been feeling very fed up today and not in the humour to talk!

Good day today & it's nice reading all the positive post's on here.

I have managed to do al my jobs & I am trying to get through day one with no wine again

Seemed like good idea at the time but I wish I hadn't drank on night 4 now as I would now be on day 6

Not long left to get through today thoroughly, distract yourself as best you can this evening!

TA thanks for your post, I've just taken the cake out (it took ages longer than the recipe said), and, as it's 5.30 thought mmm.. Congratulations me, didn't think I'd go out to the shops, Dh and Ds not home from school yet, but still got that little "pull" in my tum.
You reminded me of how I'd feel if I had to start again, so thank you, BUT, no mind that you drank on day 4, You are not drinking now, which is great. You should change your name to thoroughlyhelpful.:)

desire - gawd, yeah, 8 weeks... how odd!

Sorry you are fed up today lovely, anything in particular? Darker, colder nights maybe? I can totally understand how you feel. I am infact more like a clam than a mouse!! Any plans for later or just a nice quiet night?

TA - What's done is done. Draw a line under it and move forward a day at a time. You are doing really great! Day 4 is huge!

It will start to get easier as each day passes. You are in detox now so should start to feel the physical benefits tomorrow or the next day.

Sleep is wonderful when you are sober. I love it....... (well, when Nemo let's me sleep)

Ha Ha thurso thoroughlyhelpful makes me sound all in control!!

Glad I helped though x

TA - how about a name change? Something more positive?

Fuckity fuck, I've just gone and stopped at Tesco and bought a bottle of cheeky sauv blanc, reduced to £5!

I just can't fucking stop. I love being pissed and I feel like a fraud being here coming and going.

I is desperate. Why am I so weak? Can't go back to AA and my GP thinks I'am a pain in the arse. Shall I drink myself to death?

Dipso

Why do you think you're a fraud? I don't. You have a drink problem, like the rest of us.

You're no different to any other poster on here. And let's face it, you would have bought wine tonight anyway. Regardless of it 'being on offer'.

You know as well as I that you can get wine for cheaper than that.

You wanted a drink and that's fine. You are an adult, you are in control.

If you want to have wine, have some. How much have you had?

Dearest, lovely dipso,
I love being p**d too, what I don't love is waking up in the morning, and feeling rubbish about myself, worrying out of all proportion, that's what the drink does for us.
If you are going to drink tonight, don't stop at Tesco's tomorrow, and from what I've heard you can always go back to AA, if you want to.
I am not very far along the road myself, but, I do know that it's worth a try.
Hope you ok.

Just phoned DH to say hi & tell him something silly & he asked m if I have changed my mind about drinking wine tonight yet < gone to find a banging my own head against a brick wall icon >

I won't even try to offer you advice Dipso as I'm far to fucked up to try & help others but I hope you are ok & keep posting.

Dipso

Please drink some water in between the wine tonight, just to help stave off the hangover.

Are you on your own tonight lovely?

TA - Please don't be offended by ths but ignore DH. My DH was like this at first. He'd ask me 10 times a night or more if I wanted a drink every time he had one.

He almost needs your permission to drink himself because you are not. Does that make sense to you?

If you drink, he can drink as he would normally, if you don't he can't.

Don't get worked up lovely, this phase passess too. Stay strong xx

TA, but you have already helped others today, me!!

Thank you thank you. I have stopped after a bottle. And will drink some water now and re-trench. I'm glad I'm with people who understand but the guilt and the hopelessness is getting to me.

I am alone and maybe that's part of the problem. DD is with her dad tongiht and I'm single. I love my life and am not unhappy but the wretched drink is ever present. I wish I could live without it.

Well done Wassie, am going to take to my bed and read. With a glass of water.

I hope you all have good evenings, whatever they may hold, and that tomorrow is another good day. x

Well done Wasindie

Dipso - sleep well and well done for going to bed with water as opposed to waking at 2am and having to stagger around trying to remember where you left the kitchen!!

Night trouble!!

pah, drinking tonight and no need to. had run out of oil for cooking so DH headed out to get some and my mouth said "Get me a bottle of red will you?" while my brain was yelling"no, don't do it!"
FFS what is WRONG with me?
Sorry, Babes
