Hello, tis me, Mouse (normally Mouseface but I'm wearing my festive name 
)
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! 
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.............
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.
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 
) and a mince pie, or chocolate chip cookie, and meet some lovely, genuine people who are just like YOU.

Gugg - The Brave Babes Battle Bus - A Journey To Sobriety And Beyond.
Can you imagine? Thing is, this wonderful thread isn't my brainchild..... 'twas Jesus who started all of this, I just keep the Bus fuelled, and serviced, a bit like a mechanic
Hi again all Back from my radio appearance . It was really good fun. I was with this hilarious woman who runs her own pr business - I thought she was going to be a tall elegant sneery type but she was a reet laff! Almost forgot I was on the radio - got some more info about Molly's condition out there though which was great. (I know I've named her) Anyway, how are we all? Happy birthday purple Hope it's going ok - it can be difficult not feeling you have to drink on celebrations. The time i was nearly a year sober, i did our wedding anniversary sober, my birthday sober and cracked on DH's birthday - we were in mallorca though so had been drinking anyway. tiger we are day 8ing together! I'm sorry i'm not mentioning anyone else - I'm getting a bit baffled with the bolding and who's doing what - Everyone love from me and monstercat!!
Yay she's gone, well for tonight anyway! gugg how did you guess I would like stripey pants . Better go for large! Oh I so hope I can loose some pounds. holly how's monstercat? I have a devilkitty, just started letting him out because he's wrecking the house. Anyone watching CBB ? I'm addicted, at least it keeps me occupied.
Here's the NEW THREAD LINK again, simply as this is the last page for this one.
Stay here you norty lot until we hit the thread limit please. xxx
Koala - I found the same re reading..... I pass out fall asleep and forget where I was up to so when I stopped, treated myself to a Kindle, well, DH did!
I love reading. I've just got Fifty SHEDS of Grey for my dad, complete piss take of the actual book, great for those with a dry sense of humour
Just so you know, we'll probably be on the new thread tomorrow late on. See you over there
I'll see you all tomorrow too. Lunches need doing for the journey to the Hospital for Nemo. Will update you all once we're back, mid pm I should think. I'm hoping all is well and that we'll be an all clear for any further surgery any time soon.......
Night all, stay Brave xxx
Purple - water before bed if you are celebrating please xx
Good luck for tomorrow Mouse and hope everyone sleeps well in house of mouse tonight x
makemestronger what sort of books are you into? I would recommend Sophie Hannh, Susan Hill's Simon Serrallier series and Nicci French when you need to concetrate on not drinking/smoking/being bad - good gripping crime-y stuff. If that's your thang of course . If not, what do you like !!
