The Brave Babes Battle Bus - Players and Supporters Bus

[venusandmars]

Hi I am venus and I am an alcoholic.

Thanks to the first thread by Jesuswhatnow I have not had a drink for a long time.

There are lots of us on here, please lurk, post, whatever does it for you. If you are worried about how much you drink and your inability to stop when you want to, then someone on here can probably understand.

morning all, well done Noteven!
Count me in on the quiet time on Holy Island - a rough night due to period pains, lack of sleep and a DH who is a Twunt.
Bacon roll and coffee for me please.

Morning ma take it easy, maybe have a doze (if wasindie's commentary is not too loud!) and enjoy the trip!

white I think I am going to ask him to be my friend for the next week or so and then see how he feels and reassess.

The Librium has made me calm but not completely sedated - was a smallish dose - so if you see me on here for the next hour you need to crack the whip and send me back to the housework! I've even eaten some cheddars.

Red glad you managed to get through a completely unprovoked attack without a slide back.

Norfolk Terrier/chocolate sausage machine cross.

Not on my lap.

Morning Brave Babes.

I am ill not jealous. Pukey bug with a temp. DH has invited frineds over to, they lives miles away and stayed in a hotel last night. We haven't seen them for 3 years!

Cancelling is not an option. The house is a shit tip and I look foul.

I am hoping that they will 'op in' and then bugger off to the pub with him.

Gah.

'pop' in and friends.

Will go catch up and be back soon xx

mouse you poor thing! I hope that you feel better very soon.

noteven you sound much more calm and together already. Probably as a result of you taking charge of your life?

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Anyone listening to Radio 4?

How was your weekend Red?

Oh no Mouse that sounds really grim. A flashback to no more hangovers ever not that it sounds like you needed one.
Can you get DH to sort out just one room to put your guests in?

Red I suspect I am calmer because of the medication but I am sure that the side effects of that will be that when I do feel rough again I know I can do better.

Morning Mouse, must have missed your post earlier, so sorry you are feeling bleugh today:(

Whispers so not to wake Ma up.

Hope you feel better soon Mouse you always seem to have so much on your plate.

Noteven glad to hear things are looking more hopeful, especially with DP

Not been thinking about my single dad neighbour at all

Tonight i will not ben drinking!

desire weekend was pretty good. Met up with my parents for the first time in a long time and it went well. Am meeting my Dad tonight too. Also managed to meet up with XH to sort a few things without it resorting to a total screaming match, result! DP as lovely as ever so it was good! How about you?

noteven you sound so much more positive

Delighted you are back on good terms with your parents Red and that you had civilised meeting with ex:)
Had a lovely relaxing weekend but know I have tough times ahead:(

desire - still here if you need me. xx

noteven - wow! You are like a totally new woman! Well done for getting the help you did this morning.

Forget the R4 comment; it was a flag for tomorrow's.

desire I so wish that there was something I could do to help.

desire what has been going on? I have been so wrapped up in myself.

I'm going to have a bath and then off to collect DD from nursery

I am really worried about this dr's appt with DP - I think he may freak. He won't talk to me on the phone about it so it's going to be a big rush when he gets here. I know there's no point worrying about what you can't change.

noteven I really don't want to come across as patronising but I am feeling so proud of you when I read your most recent posts! You're totally different already!

are we there yet?
Why am I covered in bacon butty crumbs...?

ma yeah sorry about the crumbs... am a very messy eater You feeling refreshed?!

Thank you. I don't feel patronised and to be honest I just feel scared and like I'm going to cry and cry and DP will be disgusted with me - I don't think he realises I need to detox as I just assumed he realised and I am frightened. Also stressing over the fact that I will be going straight to AA after dr's and we will have not talked. I wish I thought a fraction of myself that you all seem to. . Going to take the second dose now. I don't feel as panicky as I did this morning but I am crying again and I guess the idea is not to get as bad. I really need him to help and I know that is probably a massive turn off.
