The Brave Babes Battle Bus - Driving Through The Autumn Scenes, Searching For Our Sober Dreams.

[Mouseface]

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. :)

Yes, ignore him. You just need to take some time for yourself right now. Children change, they change their minds, they grow and learn from what they see going on around them.

Right now, you have to let her go just for a little while. You need to concentrate on keeping yourself safe and well. The circumstances that you are in will change. Get ready for that day, by turning your back on alcohol, use this time now to beat that urge.

We are all here for you, keep talking x

Can't stay but checking in to lend my support. You can do this babe.

How old are your other children? Boys and Girls? You must have been one tough cookie to get out from under him with your children and set up a new life somewhere else.

[Ladame]

Great!! Let's do another 30!! We've got a huge storm brewing here. If I go awol, it's because I've lost connection, but I think it'll be a little while yet. imdoingthis are you there ??

Popping back in. Am in and out like a dog's dick today but shouting my support.

[InCiderMind]

Hi all, I really embarrassed myself yesterday and today Ive gone AF! Another Day 1 - last week I toppled badly on day two and then binged, it was horrible. I am vowing to do better. Its my ds birthday in two weeks, I would love, love, love to be sober until then. Ive asked my dp to support me, he has hidden all bottles - really difficult as i live in a pub so all i have to do is go downstairs, i dont even need money, its great awful for my addiction. I am tired of staff giving each other knowing looks when i help myself to a double G and T at 3pm. I AM GOING TO DO THIS! sorry to shout but I feel so awful after yesterday that I feel positive iyswim.

Tomorrow when i wobble i will post on here to buy me time whilst i ride out the craving. hope noone minds.

Goodluck to all in my position and well done for all who are remaining sober, cant wait to feel proud of myself.
