The Brave Babes Battle Bus - Starting the Summer Filled With Luscious Mocktails.

Hello, I'm Mouse and I used to drink far too much. Too much vodka to be exact, then too much wine, then too much cider....... you can imagine how it went.

This Bus is full of people like me, and people like you actually. Sober people, drinkers, a few not surers, and those who are simply 'somewhere'.

The one thing that we have in common is that we can/do/did/will abuse alcohol.

Some for a number of years, some months, some for their entire adult (and before) lives.

The support here is for everyone. Those in AA, those who are taking medication to help, those going it alone, those with the support of others. We're all here for the same reason. Smile

Why not come and say hello? We are all so very different in our every day lives but we all have a common theme.....

And, for those who want to see where all of this began 2 years ago, HERE IS a link to all of the past Bus rides. Smile

Hello everyone....anyone?
Just trying to bump this up the list again, so that we don't confuse anyone Confused Grin.

What are people cooking tonight? there is a smell of BBq's in my garden, sadly not mine, as Dh is playing cricket tonight, and so I may have to resort to just raiding the fridge.
I've never been very good about making a proper meal for one!

Bproud · 25/07/2012 18:13

Hi thurso happy to join you in fred-filling. i'm making lamb burgers, and having with pitta bread and waht ever raw veg I can make into a 'salad'.

Bproud · 25/07/2012 18:15

How are your DC getting on? Will they be around at all in the summer? I have DC2 home and thankfully he has a job, so not driving us mad hanging around. DC1 is happily with her BF but they come home for sunday lunch every so often - he likes my cooking Grin

Bproud · 25/07/2012 18:16

I see there are some newbies on the new fred already, amazing how this old bus keeps on rolling along!

Bproud · 25/07/2012 18:17

Soma I am heading your way again this weekend - do you fancy meeting up Monday evening?

thurso1 · 25/07/2012 18:37

Bproud No I have no-one here!!!

Dc1 is on hols in Australia with his Gf, and Dc2 is working in Rhode Island for the whole of the summer, and will only be back for a matter of days before going back to Uni, hence my over-use of the swimming pool!!!.

Dc1 will get back soon, and so I'm hoping that he will will come and stay, because he is being allowed to work elsewhere while the Olympics are on.

I hope your lamb burgers are yummy!!

Bproud · 25/07/2012 18:48

Wow! amazing experiences for your DC, you must be so proud of them, I hope you are not feeling too lonely though. Are you finding you are getting more used to being without them?

thurso1 · 25/07/2012 18:54

Nope Grin

This is the first summer for 22 years that Dh and I have been on our own, and it takes some getting used to!!

I can only think that this is what I wanted, for the Dc to forge ahead, and have happy and successful lives, it's what I wanted, but bl**dy hell is it hard?

thurso1 · 25/07/2012 18:55

Even with all my studying and work, there is a big gap....but it will come.
