The Brave Babes Battle Bus - Carry On Past The Vineyard.

[Mouseface]

Welcome to the Bus!

I'm Mouse and you'll find me snuggled sat at the back where it's warmest!

If you're sober, drinking, or somewhere between the two, you are more than welcome on board.

No judging, no cliquey groups and no closed minds here, oh no! Chances are, no matter how bad you may be feeling right now, one of the Brave Babes will have been there too!

So, come say hi.

And, to read the last thread and other journeys so far, follow this link

afternoon all.
Thurso you are doing brilliantly. Well done.
had my two glasses last night and then had a vsion of the Babes finger-wagging and tutting so put the rest in the fridge
But I couldn't have done that a few weeks ago - it was a bottle a night, every night. Last week, the pattern was
Monday - most of a bottle
Tuesday - nothing
Wednesday - bottle (threw up)
Thursday - nothing
Friday - nothing
Saturday - half bottle.

So, i still have some distance to go huh?

dementedma you are making steps along that distance, so well done, what is the plan for tonight?

BB with Sinclair you take an opiate antagonist which is the opposite of an opiate agonist. So it does the opposite of what an opiate does and this apparently reduces the pleasurable effects of the alcohol.

Demented, it's great that you seem to be taking control of your intake. Are you trying to stop completely?

Dipso - I don't think i AM trying to stop completely, oddly enough. I would like to have at least 4 or 5 nights a week drink free and to feel able to take it or leave it otherwise.
its nice to be able to have just a glass or two and them call it a night. I'll keep at it, the plan may change...

Maybe join me in the contemplation seat inde

You WILL NOT drink on these, they are horrendous with alcohol. I've had them in the past and thought, as with many other antibiotics, 'No booze? Yeah right!'

And got away with it.

These feckers however, will make you projectile vomit the entire week's worth of your stomach contents all over the floor.

Want some?

Mouse that is just RUDE. wadindie chill - you had a few drinks - so what- that does not denigrate (big word not sure if it's right) from what you have achieved lovely - relax and enjoy your beautiful babies xxxx

xx

AND the whole point of Gerald is that it doesn't matter what you have drank/not drank - doesn't matter if you are sober or pissed - you are STILL WELCOME - everybody - get it!!!!

AND that goes for you lot too - Dipso Banana Ma and Thurso x

(Banana was intentional BTW)

Wasindie trust me you DON'T!!!!! They are evil!!! I learnt a long time ago that these are the ones that you do not mess with!!

And I echo what Silver says, even though that was NOT why I offered you the antibiotics....... honest. I just don't want to have any more of them.

Silver is right, but don't tell her, in that the bus is for EVERYONE!!!

AND I am seriously going to commit catoside very soon if this fecking moggie does not stop meowing - i go to sleep visualising tearing him limb from limb - is that bad??? xx

Silver - PUT THE CAT OUTSIDE!!! Then go upstairs, get some cotton wool, put it in your ears, and resume position on sofa.

Tell DD that you had tempory deafness and hopr said cat finds a lovely warm home for the next few years?

Ring the RSPCA and see if they have any places?

Local cat home?

Erm.............

AND - (am on a roll here - you can't stop me)eerm forgot what I was going to say - HA! - errm early start tomorrow - bed calling nite nite BBs - stay strong - you are all doing SO WELL - and diabolik - WTF is going on - come back you knob head and talk xx

Mouse - sending you soft cheese to suck on x

I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOO SPOTTY - YUK

Mouse - no possibilty of permanent removal of cat - he belongs to DD and I swear to god she adores him more than life itself - seriously she throws him around like a toy and he just seems to enjoy it...f**king weird cat - she has now got him hanging upside down off her knees and is talking cat language to him ........what can i say xxxx

AND - he chewed my phone charger cable yesterday - not just once but in four places - right through the wires - off to bed now before I lose it completely.........

night babes

stay strong xxx

Night everyone. Hope these threads never stop, what happens to us if they do?

Just lit the first real fire of the year, so cosy. Went to an afternoon drinks party earlier, full of extremely dull people who normally would have been bearable because I'd had a bottle before I turned up. I had to
make an excuse and leave early....

Not really fancying a drink right now but feeling wistful about all those crazy drunken, drugged-up nights and wondering how on earth I'm going to survive the orifice party....

Off here too. Feeling kinda sea sicky again so best go lie down.

Keep going Brave Babes. WE can do it.

Wasindie - I'll be waiting for you in the morning with whatever you need to get you through the day. I hope you are in bed sleeping it off. xx

I know counting the days doesn't work for everyone - but I think I need to ....
so Day 1

Night all.
Orf to bed after one measly glass....tomorrow is another day.
Wasindie - sleep well

Hi everyone,
I need to rejoin. I fell off the wagon. I feel guilty and disgusted with myself. I have been re-reading MIFLAW's post about the boxing ring. I need to get out now whilst I can get out and not get back in. I feel sick and tired this morning. Today I will not be drinking. I am going to find some help too. Is GP the best first port of call?

Crap sleep here as well - after having beaten the insomnia over the last month, back to waking up at 1am and staying awake.
noteven I haven't sought help oher than on this thread (yet), but I think your GP would be a good starting point.
Sorry things haven't gone well, but welcome back and thanks for reminding me of that post from miflaw.

Morning all,

Sorry that some of you babes didn't sleep well.

Day 11 for me, it wasn't so hard last night, but one day at a time.

Witchety I have found this thread the best thing ever, you are doing so well.

I can't believe the state I was in 11 days ago, and much of the angst and self disgust is receding, I hope that all of you on day 1 know that everyone on here is on your side, whatever.

Diabolik are you ok?
