The Brave Babes Battle Bus - Here's To STAYING On A Sober Holiday!

[Mouseface]

Hello, I'm Mouse

I have an abusive and volatile relationship with alcohol.

This is the Brave Babes Bus, it's filled with sober, drinking and somewhere in between Babes who are all here for the journey ahead, whatever that may entail.

EVERYONE is welcome on this Bus. No-one will judge what you are going through, what you drink, what you don't or what you do.

Come take a seat.

Take a peek at the journeys so far (including the thread by JWN that started this whole journey off) HERE

am here, am drinking, am ok.

saf you are not a twat. and we all overthink our drinking - if we didn't we wouldn't be here.

I am trying to focus on the impact of my drinking. So weds and thurs I drank and it wasn't much but enough to make me tired and grumpy the next day, so bad impact. I drank a lot on Saturday but got up early with DD on Sunday, got on with it all cheerily and went to the gym to run/swim/sweat it out before our day out so didn't feel so terrible about it all. It was however, enough to make me not want to drink red wed and then do interval training the next day...

I think its a bit like the never think never approach. Its too big for me. However, drinking at the weekends only is making me realise that I tend to prefer not drinking to drinking. Now I just need to change the behaviour after that great epiphany.

off to land of nod, sleep well babes x

Hi everyone.
Had a good day really, felt really crap this morning and think dh felt a bit sorry for me really. lots of tea etc.. Been really busy getting ready for ds 10th bday tomorrow and when i got home sister, cousins, kids and friends and thier kids descended. Heres the thing, everyone was drinking and i did NOT (tada!!)
I just kept busy with little jobs between talking, played with kids etc.. i was really good. Dh offered me one drink and when i refused didnt ask again! great.
I did say this morning to him how rough i felt and that because i had decided not to drink at all the night before (just because, not told him about my wonderful mn yet) that i think it made me feel worse.
So he said we'll just get a box of beers then instaed of wine,its cheaper and we drink less. which i thought was thoughtful. Im sure our fridge will see wine again shortly but it was a nice gesture even if he didnt realise it!. Also i dont really enjoy beer as much so temptation not so strong.
So...a reasonable day overall, and i do so appreciate all your support babes THANK YOU X
Sending love

Well done try you sound really positive. Hope DS has a lovely birthday.

DD was up a lot last night so v tired here. At least not tired and hungover. Busy work day so here is hoping for a productive, postive day for all.

try well done for sticking to your resolve, that sounds really good. I understand where you are with your dh. I found it very difficult to tell mine originally, and I was in something of a panic that if I said I was NOT drinking, and then wanted to have a drink, that he might take it upon himself to remind me, thereby making me feel worse about myself, or even possible preventing me from having a drink at all .

Hi Wanttodie, don't know what to say, but why are you under lock and key at your father's house?

He brought me here to sober me up! He won't leave me alone in case I get drunk. I just want to turn back the clock or sleep for ever. I love dp and baby so much and I've let him down. I don't know how to cope
