Hello, tis me, Mouse :)

This is a thread for those who are worried about their drinking habits towards alcohol, or/and drugs.

Even if you think that you are drinking more tonight than last night or this week than last, come and have a chat, find a seat, we don't bite! Wink

We are a supportive Bus, full of very different posters, from various backgrounds. Some of us drink in moderation, allowing ourselves the odd glass or two as a treat, or just because we're in control of our drinking for that day.

One Day At A Time.

We have those who abstain completely, and those who wake every day to Day 1 and hope with all of their hearts that they can, and will, make it to Day 2.

If you've followed our journey to date, you'll know who most of us are by now :) and we kind of have two 'sayings', that sum up who we are -

    • The Vulnerable Need Our Support, Not Our Judgement
    • Alcohol Fosters Inertia

That said, we will not have any bashing of support groups, such as AA or Community Support Teams or even your own GP.

This Bus is a place for honesty, sanctuary and safety, something that has taken four years for a number of very special, very lovely, very honest and caring Babes to establish.

So, come find a seat, grab something warm from the supply cupboard at the back of the Bus as it's going to be cold tonight! Brrrr!

And, if you'd like to read back over some of our history, HERE IS THE LAST THREAD

And, HERE IS WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

We hope to meet you soon :) xxx

Hello everyone,

We're just posting as we understand a few posters have concerns about how the two sobriety thread in Relationships, this thread and Dry thread, are going to co-exist.

We feel that Dry thread posters are entitled to talk about the BB thread in general terms - even to say why the BB thread is not for them - so long as they aren't being deliberately mean or hyper-critical. That said, posters have raised the point of not wanting other people to be put off from posting on BB, and we will post on the other thread to try to explain our POV and ask them to try to make sure that they're posting in a considerate way.

Ultimately we think both threads can be great sources of support and we'd really like them to live side-by-side in a mutually supportive way, so that's what we're trying to encourage Flowers
