Hello, I'm Mouse :) Welcome to the Bus, (aka Gerald 
).
I'm one of the Brave Babes on board this fabulous Bus of travellers, all in search of their sobriety in one form or another.
We have those who drink in moderation, those who have a set pattern of days on and off the booze, and we have posters who have been sober for minutes, hours, days, weeks, months or years.
There are two lines that the Bus has painted down the side, one on each -
The Vulnerable Need Our Support, Not Our Judgement and Alcohol Fosters Inertia
So, if you think you're drinking too much or you're worried about another person, then come find a seat.
We get through our days chatting about all sorts of things, life is, after all, full of plenty of things to fuel our desire to drink, and we're all very different people
However, our common goal is sobriety. :)

Flags down bus and hauls weary self into sidecar.
obrigada good to see you again amigamia
at rural stealing the last post from indie on the other thread. Run, fox, run before she runs you over like that poor rabbit.
I'm weary Babes and its dd2s birthday weekend so have no intention of tackling the diet/booze this weekend.
Try again on Monday.
I went to a meeting with my lovely boss in his fancy car the other day. He got to the car and opened the passenger door....I stood there like a tit thinking he was getting something out of the car before I realised he was holding the door open for me! No-ones ever done that before....
jesse know just what you mean about life. Seems to play out for me like a gasket needs to be blown nearly every day. Every so often is good.
Looks like hunting is back for this poor country fox. isinde Just took so long writing my post on the last thread that I Cross posted with the last 10 posts. Really so soooory my friend, pleeeease don't set your hunting hounds on me!!!
Must have been fate. Perhaps you just weren't meant to make the last post this time. Whatever the reason it gave me a chuckle when i read faires post and realised what I had unwittingly done
Hi everyone. Not doing brilliant, but I have done one AF day this week, which is a start. Happy birthdayInsind one day, I will have an AF birthday
Does anyone else seem to self sabotage? Like this week I posted on here and one whole AF day, first in months. Then I backlashed against and drink way to much the next day? I dunno. I'm going to keep trying.
Sorry if my posts are self centeted, alcohol makes me self obsessed
Ah it's tough sometimes, but these habits took years to become established, it will take a while to make new ones.
Life can be so life numbingly dull, i long for passion, excitement, spontaneity
This is where I really wish we could have our babeland, where we could gather around a fire, on a cold night, clutching our hot drinks and laugh, talk, listen, share, cry. I'm sure we could do some crazy things, even sober, and take some real days out on a big old bus 
Ma so lovely to hear of someone treating you with kindness and respect. He sounds like he's really good for you. I'm glad you've got him back.
Checking in BBs

Big sloppy kisses to all

Posting to say that I am still here, and always reading. Special mention to isindie for her happy and sober birthday; ma (just 'cos you're lovely); silver - I'd drive anywhere in the world to rescue you.... thurso (fabulous, strong, clever woman); mouse - well just because you're so so special ;
but also to EVERYONE ELSE (and I know there are so many that I haven't mentioned by name) but you cannot imagine how much every post, yes - every SINGLE post - helps me, and holds me and inspires me. It doesn't matter whether you think your post is positive or whether it is all doom and gloom - each one helps me in some way.
So thank you. Everyone.
And I will be back to post some more. Soon.

Too many lovelies - have come over all dramatic this morning!
By the way it is the most glorious autumn morning this morning here...
It's pissing down here ma
Venus I often wonder if you're with us, sitting quietly at the back, listening to all the chatter, nodding and smiling and sucking toffees. Do you knit? Sorry, don't want to make you sound like an old woman! More like a quiet, calm, taking it all in but ready to welcome any shy soul sort of person. There is an aura of peace around you.
Now I've come over all spiritual this morning!
