The One Before

And All Others Before That

So, this is The Brave Babes Battle Bus.

All are welcome, regardless of your background, stage of sobriety, or anything else.

I'm Mouse and have been here since June 2010, and in control of my drinking since August 2nd 2010.

You will find unconditional support here. Always.

Whatever you feel about drinking (or not), we've been in your shoes. Some more than once.

So, come say hi, come grab a seat. There is always an open door and a warm welcome on this Bus.

Mousie yes, you are right. Poor bloke just wants a quiet life, and he gets an incendiary bomb!

The thing is I took it all at work today, and thought I was over it...Maybe not.

Dh now gone up to start off DC2's room decoration, before DC2 comes back at Easter, the man is a saint.
He really does have too much trouble with me.

thurso - no beating yourself up - I forbid it .
Maybe you should make him a cuppa tea?

thurso - no he doesn't. He loves you. And you love him. That's why you are still together. Life just gets in the way sometimes.

Give yourself a break lovely xx

BOO x

thurso!, what have i told you?, if we became all meek and mild and stepfordy they would have us sectioned or tested for alien spores!

ahhh! silver! and where have you been young lady?

eerm hiding x

Hello all , and I am certain that part of being on here and getting better is being able to be honest about the things that happened to us, how alcohol has affected us, and the things that we continue to be frightened of. All those who have posted their innermost thoughts today are truly brave babes tonight.

I'm off to pick up a friend at the airport - always haapy to be a taxi these days and making up for all the times when I would make other people drive, so that my drinking wouldn't be hindered.

JWN you're not to bully silver

who me!!!!

nah!, not gonna bully the daft bugger!, just twist her arm up her back a bit and hiss in her ear 'dont get off the bus again'

JWN stepfordy, definitely isn't my thing

Made DH cup of tea, and am going to join him, watching something deadly boring to me no doubt, but, have calmed down, so maybe we can salvage the night

Silver get on here, you were so geat to me when I started! I would like to hear from you, whatever has happened.

Indie how are you tonight?
Mouse sleep tight mousie. xxx

long story to tell but in the middle of Family Guy with DD at the mo - will explain all I promise xxxxx

Hi again

Just wanted to say thank you for your interesting and empathetic replies to my post earlier. Working my butt off tonight, so keeping it brief this time

Silver hope you are ok

Noteven if you are still reading this I am thinking of you and sending you my best wishes

Hope you're all having lovely evenings (and not having to do quite as much work as me!!)

E xx

Silver never explain, never apologise as one of the old sreen siren's said ( can't remember who), Katherine Hepburn?

Glad to see you back.
xxxxx

Unless you want to, of course

Screen siren's!

Night all xxxxxxxxxxxxx

Morning

Hope you all had a good night's sleep.

Attacking work with a vengeance today, going to try to get a lot of things out of the way for the weekend.

Indie How are you and the babies this morning?

Mouse hope DH's day goes well, with all the interviews.

Ellie hope you didn't work too late.

Ma how you doing?

Love to all xxxx

Morning all

Planning on getting into work and getting as much done in half a day as possible and then taking the rest of the day off - will see how that pans out . Need to get the rest of the paperwork that I started last week finished!!
Hope everyone slept well and all babies were good for mummies and dads.

Bafana
Xx

morning!

got the day from hell here, no sleep till hammersmith and all that! (that refers to my fave band of all time! motorhead!! , i refuse to be pigeonholed! )

anyway, quiting my jibber-jabber! ,

TODAY I WILL NOT BE DRINKING!!

Morning!

I have a lovely couple of days ahead, a friend has come to stay and with the exception of one meeting late this afternoon, I have cleared my diary to spend time with her.

My friend is under pressure at work and has brought some work with her, which is good because I will now have some extra time to catch up with a few outstanding tasks, and still have plenty of time to walk on the beach with her.

Life is good, and today I will not be drinking.

Hi

I have been on these threads before (under a different name) but I fell off the wagon in a spectacular fashion, but today I am climbing back on. I have made the decision to go to an AA meeting. I can't face it today because I can't face the world, but I've found one in my area tomorrow evening. Dh is going to come with me because last time I tried to go to a meeting I found myself physically paralysed when I got the the venue, I couldn't make myself walk in, how daft is that?

Golly

great news.

Can I give you a tip? Turn up between 15 and 30 minutes early. The doors will be open, the kettle will be on, a few smokers will be standing and chatting outside - but nothing formal will have started (meetings practically always start and finish dead on time), people will be finding their seats, getting a tea and biscuit, etc, and it is much easier to "drift" in this way than turn up dead on 8, walk into a full room and practically say, "well, here I am then!"

Also, introduce yourself to whoever is lingering around the front table - he or she is probably an officer of the group and will be able to make you welcome and give you an outline of what's going to happen. (I mean, I can do that for you too, but I mean that a real person, involved in that particular meeting, might find it easier to set your mind at rest.)

Good luck - hope it goes well for you. Where (roughly) are you based? I'm in SE London.

Thanks

I'm in Bristol. The meeting I'm planning on going to doesn't say on the list whether it's open or not, I'm banking on them not turning us away at the door when we get there, because that doesn't seem very helpful! Will I have to say anything? I really don't want to say anything. I struggle to introduce myself at work meetings and I'm not admitting to anything there! I will try to show up a bit early, thanks for the tip.

Now, why on earth has someone PM'd me with an anti AA page link? I can't say I appreciated it much
