The Brave Babes Battle Bus - Travelling Far And Wide, With Sobriety In Mind.

[Mouseface]

Welcome to the Bus one and all! I'm Mouse, one of the Brave Babes :)

We have a new line that we're taking with us on every journey, thanks to one of our wonderful Babes, Curry -

Alcohol Fosters Inertia.

So when you're drinking excessively, nothing changes, or improves, the sharp edges of our lives just becomes that little bit less in focus, blurred and all you feel is numb. Then like shit (emotionally, as well as physically) if you're honest! Who wants that?

You are only ever better/pacified/happy whilst the alcohol is in your system. And that doesn't last........... it's not a cure, it's a quick fix. A sticking plaster.

So, if you think you're drinking too much, and want some friendly advice, or just to come and have a chat, get to know others who are just like you, who won't judge or criticise you, then hop on board! :)

We're a really mixed bunch and all at different stages of our journey to find sobriety or certainly drinking in a more controlled, less dangerous way.

And, if you'd like to see where we've been so far, have a look at the links below :)

LAST THREAD

THE STARTING POINT AND WHY WE'RE ALL HERE

[ruralreynard]

Isinde A very late Happy Birthday to you for yesterday .Well done my friend for staying AF You are ahead of me. I thought about it and can't remember an alcohol free birthday. Even with 4 dc's only once was I pregnant on my birthday but then didn't know until about a week after.
Well done unhappy keep going.
In fact well done to all you fantastic babes who are not drinking whether its one day or years AF.
Incider forget yesterday, you did a day you can do it again. ODAAT, keep trying every af day is a victory.
I haven't posted for a couple of days as I dIdn't want to fess up and admit i failed again. Serial offender still and so angry with myself.
I managed 2 days and then slugged back a bottle on Wednesday.
AF yesterday so on day 2 again. The WW is calling already thats how bad i have got.
I will not be drinking today
With that in mind,off to walk the dog

Hello Babes

HERE IS THE NEW THREAD



Please fill this up first so that we don't leave anyone behind :)

Off to Harvest Festival.

Back later when I have to write 100 piece on why I should be on the School Parent Governors board.... I'm going with my SN experience and the fact that I live in the village, DD went there and I can help other SN parents, that sort of thing......

All ideas welcome :)

Glad it went well purple you are a good mum.

ma how are things?

[beachestoexplore]

Well done Socfish for managing the nasty old bag, we will be expecting her up in this hemisphere later. Sometimes getting under the duvet is the best defense, lots of love xx

[beachestoexplore]

Wow, increasing by multiples of 10! Obviously I am touched by you generosity but will decline your kind offer this morning thank you Isinde I have quite enough spare already

[SocFish]

I am so muttering away. Crap day. Saw alcohol counselor which always makes me feel shit. I hate talking about "stuff". Just makes me want to drink!
I'm home in bed. Didn't go to AA. But I also haven't had a drink.
Good luck up there with Friday. She's a nasty old bag today.
Xxx

Purple It must be a situation which tears you in two. I expect the little ones are quite excited by the idea of a new 'big' brother, but when you are not sure how he will behave with their feelings and it must have been nerve racking. I am really pleased for you that it went well.

Socfish stop your muttering woman!!

I am on day 12 and at the moment the counting helps me. Today seems more difficult because it is Friday BUT it is only another day. I have been out and got some pineapple and tomato juice (not for some weird cocktail) so I am armed with some treat drinks for later. Thanks Faire for that advice. I am not so chuffed about the 3lb gift but it does seem quite at home here!

Good Luck for today babes

Many thanks to Guggs, Beaches, Jango and Baby for your kind support and comments on my eldest sons visit. I was really nervous introducing him to these three younger ones - his behaviour in the past hasn't been good - but it all went well. I had to think and re-think involving him in his half-brothers and half-sisters lives. They are still so impressionable. Thanks, Lovelies, your comments really helped. xxxxxx
