Hello, tis me, Mouse Smile

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. Smile

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. Smile

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.

Ok I'm staying strong. I think. My dh's is still sick and had a hard day with him and DH keeps doing everything apart from bloody sitting with me! Got a cherry juice antioxidant drink thing and a bag of Doritos - hardly thrilling but the in laws over tomorrow and want to be fresh as house to tidy and meal to cook plus possible nightmare sleep due to ds's sickness. Right, breathe...hopoefully I won't cave if u don't, deal?! Thanks for support, sooooo close just then. Btw my skin is itching all over, is this related?? Scary if so....

Lolabelle · 04/04/2012 20:01

Ds is still sick not dh...

Lolabelle · 04/04/2012 20:01

Really bl**dy itchy actually. Not good at all....

Fairenuff · 04/04/2012 20:02

Well done Lola you will be so pleased tomorrow x

Fairenuff · 04/04/2012 20:04

Lola try not to scratch. Could be alcohol or diet related. You might need to visit the gp or at least the chemist if it continues. Do you have any E45 or sudacream in the house. Maybe a cool bath would help?

helpyourself · 04/04/2012 20:06

slippers?

Fairenuff · 04/04/2012 20:10

Not slippers Grin

dementedma · 04/04/2012 20:11

Soft drink?

Fairenuff · 04/04/2012 20:12

Oooh good idea, but not soft drink.

Fairenuff · 04/04/2012 20:13
Grin
helpyourself · 04/04/2012 20:15

Speakers! I'm right aren't I! Miss Miss!

Fairenuff · 04/04/2012 20:17

Haha no, not speakers, sorry

RainQueen · 04/04/2012 20:20

Socks?

helpyourself · 04/04/2012 20:21

Sulking Brave Babe, deflated.

Fairenuff · 04/04/2012 20:28

Not socks

Not sulking Hmm. Some dodgy guesses here, don't any of you own dictionaries? It's easy peasy, come on, give me a list of s-words . . .

Ok I'm just stepping in for a little bit, and if I ever sound like a patronizing bag again slap me, JWN did, and we are over it.

Lola, it has to do with the central nervous system reactivating itself (since it has been numbed by the alcohol for so long) and firing off nerve endings throughout the body. This withdrawal lark is the same as drinking patterns, one size doesn't fit all, each one of us is different, I never got that, but had enough night sweats to refloat Titanic.

Dearest Blanket, you worry me.Sad Probably worry yourself more. Anyway the corks out of the bottle now, so two choices, bin it or drink it. What's it to be? Because you do have a choice still. You gave yourself a choice buying the cranberry with the rose. Just shows that you really did want to try not to drink.

I just want to see you plumped up under your blanket again with a happy face and genius child laughing with you, this weekend with lots of chocolate rather than empty bottles. Far less effort than trying to battle with the bloody booze, that is just so tiring and time consuming.

Everyone else have a safe and Happy Easter. xx

SarahRT · 04/04/2012 20:34

Slap Fairenuff, I mean for the guessing game not you obviously Grin

Hi Sarah how's things? Not slap. Remember this is something I can see (and so can you) and no-one's slapping anyone in the Fairenuff household Grin.
