The Brave Babes Battle Bus - Off To Find The Summer Sun and Sobriety!

Hello, I'm Mouse :)

Welcome to the Bus, take a seat and enjoy the ride. We're a Bus full of drinkers, non-drinkers, those who are trying to give up for life, those who are giving up for a few hours because that's all that they can manage (which is fine!) or quitting just for today......

We don't wear Judgey Pants (they're far too last year darhling Wink) but we have hugs a plenty and tough love when it's needed. Which isn't often!

So, what have you got to lose? If you're reading this, you're thinking that you are no longer happy with the way you drink, which tells me that this is the Bus for you. :)

If you'd like to see where we've been so far and what we've been up to, take a peek HERE

And if you want to knnow why we're here in the first place, take a look at THIS THREAD RIGHT HERE :)

See you soon x

Trying to resist ww as always have a nervy tummy if I am going away and I haven't been sleeping well on account of being menopausal old trollop.

Only thing stopping me right now is fact Ive got to go and pick up dd2.
Tell me the reasons not to : (

Fairenuff · 02/09/2013 18:12

jango have something to eat.

If you have alcohol in the house freeze it, lock it in the shed/garage/car boot.

What time do you have pick dd up?

louiseaaa · 02/09/2013 18:21

Just make it through the next five minutes, then the next, rather than thinking ahead,,, and get all the booze out of the way somewhere ...... you can do this x

ladame missing you already xxx

bobblypop · 02/09/2013 20:24

evening all
jango how are you doing? sending "sod off ww" vibes your way. If your still hanging in there stick with it...you can go to bed soon and tomorrow is another day.

came so close tonight....
poured a G&T at about 5.30...took a couple of sips...was planning on moving onto my bottle of wine after...then just thought "no!"
you know what I did ...I went and got changed and went for a run Shock for the first time in about 12 months. I used to love running. It is a great stress buster...then I started deciding it was easier to just open a bottle of wine...Hmm
soo I'm very chuffed. I only went about 2 miles...very slowly - a far cry from when I managed to run a half marathon 2 yrs ago...but it is a step in the right direction Grin

need to dash...ds2 being difficult and is out of bed again...

stay strong tonight all Grin

bobblypop · 02/09/2013 20:25

bobblypop · 02/09/2013 20:28

Pink01 · 02/09/2013 21:10

Lonnika! I am so glad to see you back mate. Grin And very glad you plan to stay. Happy bus days Grin

Hello to all and hope everyone is ok. Sorry to be brief but I am trying to sort a load of stuff out for a work training day tomorrow which means leaving home at silly o clock so can't post much. But just wanted to say hello.

Day 15 completed here. Still ODAAT but am wondering where this journey will take me long term.........at least I know I am in the bus where ever I end up! Grin

Will post properly soon

Love to all
