The Brave Babes Battle Bus - BOINGing Into Spring, The Jesus(WhatNext) Way!

[Mouseface]

Hello, tis me, Mouse

I'm one of the Brave Babes aboard the Battle Bus, on the journey to sobriety.

We have drinkers, non-drinkers, inbetweeners, notquitesurers...... which is all fantastic.

No matter who you are or where you're at in your personal quest to get where you want to be, come grab a seat and join in the natter, just jump right in.

And, if you'd like to see where we've been up until now, HERE is a link to the last thread and the ones before it

See you soon.

I spent 28 hours in custody due to the level in my blood at 7.30am. I narrowly missed prison for 2 to 4 months. And I have DD who is 14. WTF am I doing???? I am an addict, that's it isn't it? And am scared.

Casablanca well done for posting about it, that was very brave. We can help you, stay with us. This thread will finish soon because it's almost at 1000 posts but a new one has been set up already. I'll try and do a link for you in a moment.

Have you decided not to drink today?

no judging of flaming on this bus casablanca we can help. Stay with us.
Does DD know?
You might be addicted now but that doesn't mean you will be all of your life.

I hope the link works:

NEW THREAD

nope, doesn't work faire

No it doesn't and I don't want to fill this one up with lots of failed attempts, but you can find it on the page before this one under the name Mouseface .

Casablanca, the babes will support not flame, last thing you need today. You haven't hurt anyone except yourself. Just try and stay calm if you can, have a cup of tea and reach out now. You are not alone.

Sad, I've always felt driven to help other people and have never felt comfortable asking for help myself.

Sadsoma, that is just so often the case. People say that alcoholics are selfish, which they are about their drinking, rarely anything else. Generous to a fault as my mentor used to say. You have to change habits and routines. Bypass the supermarket just for today. 63 units + a week is heavy drinking and heading to the alcoholic elevator of life.

"I don't want it to be like that anymore. I want to get to a place where I'm not constantly thinking about whether I should drink or not. That's almost as bad as the drinking itself and it's tiring me out."

says it all for so many of us on here.

I mean physically hurt Casablanca, no doubt your dd is a mess about this right now.

Thank you all for being so kind. I have been so scared of telling anyone. Telling DD was I thought the worst, but I still have only told my DP, CPN and one friend, as well as DD. And I only told her in case I went to prison. I left a letter with DP to give to my parents in case.....I don't know how to stop. AA has not worked for me in the past.

new thread

Sarah - no did not physically hurt anyone thank god. DD is a tough girl (having bipolar mother makes you that way). She just wants to know am getting her a taxi account I think.....But I have a 5 year ban. She will have left home by then.

Casa No one will judge you here, you are in a safe place to talk.

Mia I recognise that manic feeling...

Sadsoma That craving is horrible. My worst time is 5 pm because that is when the bottle-s- of wine call from the fridge, very loudly indeed :(

casa what are you doing right now, today to stop drinking? Posting here is a great first step and you will get amazing support here.
