The Brave Babes Battle Bus - New Year? So, Let's Go Up A Gear!

999 replies

ChristMouseTimeMistletoeNoWine · 26/12/2012 21:54

Hello, tis me, Mouse (normally Mouseface but I'm wearing my festive name Smile)

Welcome to the Brave Babes Battle Bus, to a place of solace, support and sanctuary, if that's what you seek of course. It's also a Bus full of bloomin' chatterboxes, waffling on about life, love and all things from school reports to laundry! Grin

The journey into 2013 is going to be an ass kicking one as we're moving up a gear to give the WineWitch a bloody good slapping, and the BoozeBeast a kick in the bollo............. Grin

Some of us drink in moderation, some of us drink. Some of us are sober, some of us are trying so very, very hard to be.

Some of us have been dry for days, weeks, months and some of us years...... some of us are just starting out and are scared of what stopping drinking means. It's not forever, it's just for today if that's what you want. Smile

We have a saying on the Bus One Day At A Time. Or ODAAT

Take each moment, each day and each blip as it comes. The support on this Bus has kept me from ruining my life time and time again. The experiences of others shared here has helped me to change the way I see alcohol, the way I see what it does to me.

Although some Babes have been here a while and kind of 'know' each other, we all have different lives, different roles to play, different places to sit on the Bus, but we ALL have or have had abusive relationships with alcohol and we're here because we want that to change; for the better.

Everyone is welcome here so don't be afraid to just jump right in and say hi. Post as much or as little as you like!

So, come say hi, grab a seat, an eggnog (non alcoholic of course Wink) and a mince pie, or chocolate chip cookie, and meet some lovely, genuine people who are just like YOU.

Also, HERE IS THE PREVIOUS THREAD with a link in the OP to the first ever thread, and the reason why after more than two and a half years, this thread is still here, supporting those in need. Smile

morning babes

Small boing here.
kotinka I meant to say that your art with the sweet wrappers was amazing. Will you post the stained glass art when you have made it too? It must be great having a talent like that.
mouse hope things are improving?

lookingforhope · 03/01/2013 08:57

Morning. Meal out with in laws last night, consumed one vodka and tonic and 2 red wines (plus garlic bread, lasagne and Xas pud with ice cream, ahem.). But off the booze from now on for rest of January. Diet starts Monday, will.post my rather disgusting vital stats then. Off to a funeral today - a sad one, leukemia. At least it is so far away I have no choice but to not drink tho as am driving. Wel done to all.of you on day 2 or 3. Have a good day babes x

lookingforhope · 03/01/2013 08:59

Ps ignore crappy spelling, not drunk, just posting from phone haha. First attempt at menu confession read Xmas pus rather than Xas pud. Ugh!

EastHollyDaleStreet · 03/01/2013 09:00

Oh well, maybe I'll bugger off to another thread.

aliasjoey · 03/01/2013 09:11

obrigada · 03/01/2013 09:21

Morning. Have wedding today and stomach already in knots.

ohcluttergotme · 03/01/2013 09:23

Hope everyone has been doing ok. This is day 2 of dry January for me. Felt tempted last night once I got little one off to be but managed to resist. Boot camp not going quite so well but my mind is still kinda thinking I'm still on holiday! One thing at a time. No booze and will start healthy eating for proper next Monday Smile
