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.

Phew! glad we've got 'cakegate' sorted out.

Morning red sorry you're having such a shit time. Good to have you back.

Morning Red, great to have you back but as Witchety says sorry you are having such a shitty time:(

Thank you witchety

I totally agree that if you are cooking/baking using a recipe where the addition of alcohol is required, it would be easy to take a swig from the bottle.

No denying that fact and in the past, when making Brandy Alexandra, I may have tested the brandy to make sure it hadn't gone off

But in this case, you seemed to miss the point that the cake is a gift and the recipe requires said cake to be fed booze on a regular basis.

And yes these threads move fast which is why I always bold poster's names if I want them to notice it or I am talking to them.

Then if you skim read, you can see that I'm looking for/talking to you.

Simples.

Any room for me Mouse want to catch up with Red too:)

Always desire.

Red - how are you feeling today? Did you speak to your friend yesterday? I hope you managed to get some sleep lovely. You really are going through the mill at the moment.

Go easy on your self ok? We Babes are here for you, night or day. You'll find one of us here on the bus.

I've decided to go to hydro but not phsio. I don't need to talk at hydro so there's no need for my 'CJ The Chipmonk' impression!!

Christi - I have shown that to DH, he laughed. He's a meany!!

or 'physio', it's like phsio but easier!

Bloody typos!

aaaaaaarrrrrrrghhhhh
spent a whole day on a job on Tuesday, stupid stupid stupid job that i had to input online as requested by the client, and their website has totally lost ALL of it. A whole day's work down the pan

am sitting at desk like a coiled spring. This is my test lol. Normally I'd already be planning on getting the wine in for the evening to write off a bad day but not today [crunches fist into mouth]

Sorry about that [waits for steam to finish escaping from ears].

How's everyone else today ?

Desire DAY 5 woo hoo, well done you!!

Can't sleep, can't eat at the moment. Losing weight pretty quickly which is the one good thing in life, ha ha! I am able to smoke though, a lot. Just totally not healthy. Am also feeling confused to the max as I have kind of started seeing someone and it's moving extremely quickly. Have bascially lost the plot!!

red lost the plot in a good way?

Day 5 for you too Threesteps??
Wow Red how long were you gone for:) kind of seeing someone?? spill:)

Red

Put the brakes on my girl. 'Seeing' someone is great and will do you the world of good re your confidence and everything that you have just been through with H but you need time to heal.

You need time to find you again. So whilst I can highly recommend having some fun, being spoilt for a change, going out to dinner etc.....

Don't make any promises ok? You'd been in a long term relationship before this so just tread carefully.

And yes, I know I sound like I'm nagging you but I care, as do others, about your well being and your state of mind. You are all over the place and have so much to deal with. No rash decisions ok?

By the way...... is he hot?

Time for hydro, back later Brave Babes. xx

hi everyone, sorry i've been awol - have been chugging along here sticking to nothing during the week, and then last night had a small glass of red. but didn't turn it into a finish the bottle session so that's ok. Under control.

Ball saturday night was lovely until we got home and dh turned into an emotionally abusive husband because....yes you guessed it....he was drunk. which led to an almost splitting up argument on sunday, which conveniently happened to be my birthday. so not only did he ruin a great night out, he ruined my birthday as well.

i've been doing a lot of thinking the last few days and I didn't want to bring you all down.

but am still lurking and watching with interest and silent support

daddy i was just about to post asking where you were. I am so sorry your husband is being such a wanker. I feel terrible for you. And how dare he ruin your birthday. Can you change your name to myhusbandisashithead?

No, as I say, I'm not missing the point. I now realise that the cake is for someone else.

But, for me personally, if I had baked such a cake in early sobriety, whether if it was for me or someone else, the fact that I was chucking alcohol about in my kitchen could easily have tempted me to have a taste, be it to check that the wine wasn't off or just to get into the spirit of it all (no pun intended.)

But, once again, just advice.

I know what you mean mouse and I am trying to slow things down as much as I can. Kind of tricky though seeing as I have 'run away from home' and am basically living with him! God, I can never do things by half can I?! He's a lot older than me (20 years!) and he's like a cheeky Northern 'boy' but the most important thing is that he makes me laugh all the time and I need some laughs at the moment! Not sure that ex-h ever made me laugh as much...

Hi MIFLAW, long time no 'speak'... Probably because I keep disappearing to get drunk...

Red

I completely understand why you keep getting drunk but why the need to keep disappearing to do it?

Red I come back online for a wee second to catch up and not only have you returned but you are living with someone??

Red, sit down.

MsGee I know that I am acting bonkers and I have no idea what's going to happen as time goes by... At the moment though he's great company, treats me well and makes me laugh. For now that'll do... I totally understand your concern, I really do. If it was the other way round I would be very worried.

Ok.

If you are happy then I am happy for you. Nice to see you back here.

And listen to MIFLAW. You don't need to disappear if you drink.

Anyway, enough of my worrying

and a sticky icky chocolately hug from LittleMsGee (who has recently discovered the use of chocolate buttons as rewards and now demands them whenever she is not a monster).

HUGE

HUGE

not HUFE

which is utter nonsense. its not even nearly a word.

It's nice to be back. And no, there's no need to disappear! And thank you for the shuffle hugs, HUFE, HUGE or otherwise!
