Hello,

I'm Mouse, well, I am usually!

Welcome to the Brave Babes Bus. Smile

This is a journey of sobriety, started almost a year ago by the wonderful jesuswhatnext. So why not come aboard and find a seat. There's heaps of support on here whether you are sober, drinking or somewhere in the middle.

And, for those of you who want a bit of history, here are the Previous Threads

Silver that is fantastic. I didn't know that it was available in the UK. The people I know who swear by it either went to Finland (Finland!) or the states. I don't know why a method that has a 70% success rate is not widely available. The drug is out of patent so should be cheaper.

NB: The Sinclair Method is not quite the same as just taking the drug.

Why on earth is nal not availabe here without the sort of effort Silver has had to make?

Oh how lovely to wake up this morning and see a post from Silver Grin Grin Grin To be honest, I don't think it matters HOW any of us a dealing with our issues: what mouse does, doesn't work for me; what I do doesn't work for others... What is important is that we're all trying to do something, sometimes, and little by little that has to better for each of us than not doing anything at all. And that we can come on here and post about how we're getting on.

silver can you say any more about the difference it has made to your mental attitude?

Hope everyone else has a lovely day ahead of them, today I will not be drinking.

lucilastic · 10/05/2011 08:17

Morning all babes. Silver, wow! What does the drug do for you? Does it simply take away your desire to drink or are there side effects?
Have a great day everyone.
Today I won't be drinking.

thursomuchtolookforwardto · 10/05/2011 08:36

Morning babes, and I hope you're having a good holiday Mif, if you can read this!

Hello Silver (throws new silver coloured cap over, with wings on!), so glad to hear from you.
Venus is absolutely right, it doesn't matter how any of are dealing with our issues, just that we are trying to do something. I wish you all the good fortune in the world, with the new meds.

I also think, speaking for myself, that when someone stops posting, apart from saying "Hi, how are you?" a couple of times, I have to respect that the person, doesn't want to post, for their own reasons, and will come back, or not, in time. It doesn't stop me wondering how they are, but, we all have real lives as well, and sometimes it doesn't seem appropriate, or a good thing to post it all on here.

I love to talk to everyone on here, and it has been a complete saviour, for me, to talk to others with the same issues (and not just about drink!), I think some of the things I've talked about, I should have posted elsewhere, but this is the only thread I have ever been on, so you get it all I'm afraid Smile.

However, this isn't a confessional, or a police state (as far as I'm aware Grin ), and whatever babes choose to post, or, not to post is a personal prerogative.

Crikey, writing that, had anyone read the Ben Elton book set in the future, where everyones everything is available to be shared with everyone else?
It's a 1984ish, but a lot more gross!

Working at home today Wink, so off to hang out the washing. xxxxx

P.s How is nemo's breathing these days Mouse, is the better weather making a difference?

Morning all!

Thurso I' ve read that book(blind faith) and loved it! Mind you, I do loathe the facebook culture of sharing absolutely everything, I don't do facebook myself.

Silver I'm really pleased for you that you've found something that's working for you, well done!! I've never heard of it but will definitely follow the above link and read up on it!!

Everything's good here on day 16, I was thinking last night how these 3 nights without dd would have previously been an excuse to get absolutely hammered but now there's nothing I could want less (apart from crabs maybe Grin)

last night wasn't even that bad, I watched lots of stuff I wouldn't have been able to if dd had been here, and then played loads of video games - I reeeallly got hooked on tetris and internet backgammon :D

not sure what I'm ging to do today but have wednesday planned (I'm catching the train to our nearest city got some retail therapy)

Hope evryone is safe,happy and well - I'm off to read up on the sinclair method - have a great day everyone!! xx

dementedma · 10/05/2011 09:45

morning all. Silver great to hear from you. Glad we have someone who knows how to drive this bloody bus properly!
Thurso hi me old mucker! Endured any lately? Grin
I feel quite chipper today - most odd!
venus how's tricks?
Waves cheerfully to everyone else!

qo · 10/05/2011 09:58

Nice to see you so cheerful ma long may it continue!!!

obrigada · 10/05/2011 10:07

Morning everyone, had a few drinks (bottle & half of red wine) on Friday, have managed to stop drinking during the week but when it comes to the weekend I do drink on at least one of the nights.

thursomuchtolookforwardto · 10/05/2011 10:10

Ma some sort of early warning system next time, thanks, so that I don't snort coffee all over my keyboard Grin.
Actually, we have recently finished doing the Dc's bedrooms, they now both have double beds, DC2's room has our old one, and our new one is coming today. So...we had to sleep in DC1's room last night, in our old bed, surrounded by evidence of DC1, and with DC2 next door (we are usually across the other side of the house), and DH wondered why I wasn't in the mood!

thursomuchtolookforwardto · 10/05/2011 10:11

DC1's room has our old bed!

jesuswhatnext · 10/05/2011 10:26

jesuswhatnext · 10/05/2011 10:30

dementedma · 10/05/2011 10:36

Poor old Thurso Wink

algee · 10/05/2011 12:10

Algee on wobbly wobble ground...but dh on board, I'm t least being 'honest' with him tis time so it doesn't feel quite so dangerous if you get me? So, I'm not hiding bottles and all of that malarkey. Anyway. Bit of a gatecrash, lots of love to you all, rare half day off so I'm going to surf the food sections to gain mealtime inspiration hopefully.

algee · 10/05/2011 12:11
