The Brave Babes Battle Bus - Giving Up Booze For Lent.

[Mouseface]

Hello.

I'm Mouse.

We are a Bus load of posters with various relationships with the demon booze. Some are sober, some are not and some are inbetween.

So come say hi and meet the rest of The Babes, there's always plenty of room on the Bus, the doors are ALWAYS open.

No judgy pants are worn on this journey, pants yes and even the odd Tena Lady but always of the non judging variety.

Trist - thank you lovely . I'm not a hug person in RL, only on here and I give them out very rarely indeed. Oh [blsuh] at the admiration.

Me too re the warmer, drier weather JWIM. I'm just sounding off on here because DH has so much work on he really doesn't need me melting down!

Evening all,
Chaotic live at the moment - but in bloody brilliant way!! All because I am not drinking, live is frigging awesome.

Off to London in the morning- busy busy
Bigs hugs to u all

Keep it in the day

IsinDe - 6pm was always drink o'clock in the Mouse house. Always. There's just something about that time, between 5 and 7pm that makes you think, mmmmm, a nice drink after the day I've had would be awesome.

You got to 17 days last time. I hope with all my little mouseness that you can do it again and more!

I'm cheering you on tonight, and I'll be here again tomorrow, doing the same.

Go YOU!!!

Someone once said to me, "of COURSE you're going to think about drinking - you're a bloody alcoholic! What matters is how you REACT t othat thought."

So - you know what the thought is; you know it's normal and doesn't mean you're failing; and you know how NOT to drink.

You can do this; go gurl!

passed phase 1, cooking the tea (put a splash of wine in the risotto but the top went straight back on the bottle)

now for phase 2 which kicks on around 9pm - I have sparkling water, slices of lemon and lime, and tonic water

wow so much happening on here!
jwn bloody fabulous news, congratualtions mother of the bride!
indie if you ever drive this bloody bus again I will throttle you!
Too many people to rspond to individually so hi to all. Got my new varifocals today and can't see a bloody thing! have taken them off to type so excuse typos
mouse hang tough my friend. Give Nemo a gentle hug from me, poor little poppet. isn't it his birthday soon?

Awwww, bless you Ma, yes, he'll be two whole years old on Monday May 2nd.

I can't quite believe that our little fella has actually got this far. I need to update my profile on here with some new photo's of him.

He is such a big boy now. Still not talking or eating but he'll get there, one day.

How are things with you? I read your reply to me about DH. I wish I could make it all better for you Ma, I really do. xx

He's watching The Gruffalo, he love the little mouse in it!

'loves' gah!

mouse don't worry about me. I am tied to DH until one of us shuffles off our mortal coil i suppose. Can't go, don't want to stay, but others have worse to deal with. I'll get by
Please do put a new photo of nemo on your profile - that would be lovely.

ohhhh....still not used to profile photos

Mousey... Nemo is a gorgeous young man indeed !!!

Ma - if you had your own thread about this in Relatiosnhips, you know I'd tell you to leave. Staying for the DC is wrong etc....not always, mostly.

But, if you can get along, if you can 'live' with each other for now at least like this, then I guess it's what you have to do. I don't like it, that you have no emotional input in your life, that you have no love, no-one you want to hold, but I get it.

Huge hugs to you sweetheart. xx

New picture on my profile, second one down of Nemo, just for you Ma xx

oh mouse I am being unfair. There is "love" I suppose though it maifests itself in his sexual requirements which i don't want or need. it's not his fault i don't love him any more, or probably have never felt about him the way he feels about me.
There is someone i would like to hold, but it can't be.
anyway, this thread is about alkies not my miserable marriage, huh?
Seriously, I'm ok. maybe one day things will be different and I can be free, but for now I have a role to play.
My friends on here are a huge help, believe me!!

awww, he's so cute! So is DH BTW

congratulations JWN. You say your DD is so young, how old is she?

Happy Birthday Zany

Ma.

If only you knew....... we've, well, I've been wobbling of late with DH. I keep expecting the bubble to burst, you know? Like I'm not worthy of a man who doesn't beat me or cheat on me....

I know I'm being daft but I've just got this feeling.

But like you, that's a whole other thread. maybe we can keep each other company on the down days?

Wow a busy day on here! Congrats to you JWN so very exciting! Zany Happy birthday! Mouse I'm sorry you are struggling today.
Hello to everyone else,oldies or newies.

I am boing today as I have made it to 6 months, yay! I am so happy.
Thank you all of you for the fab support
X

BB 6 months is F.A.B. No wonder you're boingy!

Isindie You know you can do it......Though I'm not one to be dishing out advice! I got a few funny looks in the co-op as I wandered round muttering 'you will not buy wine, do not buy wine...'

JWN you will be the snazziest MIL ever!

mouse you're little man is the cutest xx

Well, I've stuffed my face, got a pint of fizzy pomegranate and elderflower and a bag of mini eggs (my 2nd favourite addiction and no intention of making that last minute dash to the shop. Still feel shit after the last 2 weeks of total stupidness but hey ho, onwards and upwards.

Hello to all I've 'met' before and to all the newbies........sure is busy on here!

Mouseface you SO deserve to be happy, and I am sure your DH wonders what he did to desrve you!

BB i can't even imagine 6 months!!! I can't even do 6 days

I have to have an alcohol free day tomorrow, it's too late for tonight as I've started. I usually start craving around 5/6pm, if anyone is around at that time and fancies a bit of mutual support I would REALLY appreciate it.

thornrose i will be home tomorrow about 6.15 and really need not to drink, so count me in.
indie that's a good plan! What about DD though? we can't leave her all alone while Mouse and DH are shagging spening quality time together. maybe she could help JWN pick out a wedding hat?
