The Brave Babes Battle Bus - Carry On Past The New Year Wine Offers!

[Mouseface]

Hello all.

We are the Brave Babes. We're on the Battle Bus, travelling around sobriety and going day by day, hour by hour, through the detox hell of not drinking, cutting down or sometimes even not.

Come say hi. We won't bite.

No doubt one of us has been where you are now......

It's fine. No judging, no nasty jibes, just us, the BBs.

Come meet the others..................

i would say im between a 7-8 isindebetterplace

Evening All

Hi Missy - welcome the wonderful bus, well done for admitting that your drinking is a problem to you and that you have poured the rest away - neither of those things are ever ever easy to do.

I have had a pretty shitty day. DS has very lovingly shared his sickness and vomiting bug with me - so it has been fun fun fun (not)!!

I have also arranged to send my exdp a legal letter about the breakdown of our relationship - and he is going to hit the roof - really not looking forward to the fallout from that, but I am glad that I am taking control of the situation, and making myself in control. Scary scary, not used to being in control - normally too pissed!!

Hope everyone is doing well

Missy

You can see my profile and the life I lead.

We're not unalike. YOU need support too.

Are you always alone with the DCs?

his nurse is fantastic and was really great when my ds whas self harming his consultant on the other hand i cant stand she tends to look down her nose at people but as she is the only one in the county we have 2 put up with her

my parents will have my dcs maybe every 3 -4 months but they find it hard 2 cope with them mouseface you have things alot harder than me as well

Okay.

So, Missy - take us back to basics.

What do you need. What can we do to help you get out of this hole?

some one i can talk 2 insted of opening that bottle

Talk to us, me.

Talk about what you like, what you don't. Tell me your favourite film, band, sexual position!!

Whatever. Talk to me babes.

Sorry Missy

Nemo needs me. Off to bed.

Take care xxx

Missy
If you want to chat, am still here for a wee while

missy - talking we can do, between our various non sleeping children there is often someone here.

Mine woke at 1, 2 and 4:30 today, is now back to sleep, I can't though. Oh well.

I'm all boingy today. I never thought I'd be hearing myself say that. It is really good to wake up sober. It is really good to know I just have to live today, keep it in the day, and I can hand it all over and just say I can't do this on my own.

I have to go and see the alcohol worker that social services insist on, then later am planning a bit of housework and ironing, hoping to cycle to my lunchtime AA meeting but we'll see, and going to start doing something creative later on too.

Oh, I forgot to add (apart from DD is still asleep which is dead rare and not fair on the grounds that I couldn't get back to sleep!) hope everyone has good days. Or if they are not good, that you have some calm with you to deal with them :)

What a lovely place this bus is :)

Morning Brave Babes.

Morning everyone !

Morning all.

I went out last night and had two glasses of wine - wanted another but managed to go home (I'd had enough anyway doesn't usually stop me )

Unfortunately got home to find dh trying to clean lots of sick off dd - who is 14 months. I spent most of the night dealing with cleaning sick and she's still doing it this morning.
I'm shattered, feel hungover and pissed off quite frankly.

Onwards and upwards as they say.

Hi to all brave babes new and old (don't mean elderly

Noteven great news on the boinging

Morning!

morning all! - welcome aboard all you lovely new babes! , nice to feel you are not alone eh?

another bloody manic day ahead, never mind, at least im doing it sober!

laters babes!!

WOW the bus is busy at the moment.

Hi to all newbies. Are you feeling any better this morning Missy

I had a bottle again last night - so much for cutting down in the week

zany - its no use doing the face!, you made the choice to drink the wine!,, now, come on!, youve been buggering about with this for weeks!, get a grip and GO FOR IT!!, i believe you have it in you to be sober - stop messing about and DO IT!!

end of pep talk!!

Is it safe to step on the bus.

You are right JWN. I can't keep blaming stress/loneliness on having an excuse to drink - I felt so much better when I had cut down and guilt free

mssoul - I trained for a bout 3 months, if the truth be told, couple of times a week. But sometimes the training was just fast walking and gasping for breath and feeling that I would never do it.
Eventually i got up to a wobble jog, and on the day I jsut gritted my teeth and refused to stop until I got to the end. DC2 kept popping up along the route (it was a twisty one that doubled back on itself) yelling "come on mum, you can see the finish line from here", and by the time I'd realised she was a lying cow motivational person, I had jogged yet a bit further and then a bit further again.
