The Brave Babes Battle Bus - In Search Of Sobriety, Sunshine & Survival!

[Mouseface]

Hello, I'm Mouse :)

Welcome to the thread, or our mythical Bus called Gerald!

There is room for everyone. Always

There is help for everyone who wants it. Always

There is unconditional support and kindness. Always

We have two sentences that we believe in here -

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

No matter what it is that you drink, how much, how often, we've ALL been in your position at one point or another...... so most of us WILL know exactly what it's like to be YOU

If you'd like to read the last thread, it's below -

THIS IS THE PREVIOUS THREAD

And if you want to read a pretty sobering thread and the history behind these many, the reason why we are all here, fighting to stay/get sober is here -

FIRST EVER BRAVE BABES THREAD

Hope to see you soon :)

Hello Babes!

I am squeezing more stuff into my holidays, down at the Falkirk Wheel, just off now to see the Kelpies. I went before, but they still had diggers and shit at the base. I love the Kelpies, I look at them as a fitting memorial to GentleLab, it's a lovely place, full of greenery, water and birds, all the stuff that floated her boat.

I'd love to read your blog, Mouse

How's it going spanna? Is it living up to your expectations? Xx

Will catch up later, signal getting worse by the second, love to all, xx

Hi babes, got a mega busy day today so I'm just checking in, giving the newbies a reassuring hug and an "everything's gonna be alright hug" to our lovely ma, I wish I could cheer you up babe, been thinking if you lots lately, your so smart, funny and lovely I hate to think if you being unhappy in RL, I really mean that.

To our new brave posters, the first step of posting shows your facing your concerns and in here there are truly wonderful people who dragged me out of the gutter when even my own family had no faith left in me. From this point on your not alone with your worries.

Anyway must dash, was just thinking today how much you all mean to me and how this magical bus has given me so much comfort, you are all FAB U LUS xxxxx

Evening babes

Have to say that the ww has been bothering me today because I'm tired,thought I'd better get my arse on here to say that she can't fecking well have me.

annie Keep going. Once you're ready you'll have some af days and it will just build up to a stretch of sobriety. Don't give up.

wry kelpies? Are they seals? beautiful animals. hopes a kelpie isn't a big spider You sound good lovely.

'LO there beaches how's it going on this 'sunny' friday?

MOUSE so good to hear you my lovely,though I can see that life isn't easy. Yes,yes to blogging.

Welcome to overcame
just you sound so worried.
Welcome also to imagination - I don't expect that you are a bad person at all,perhaps just someone with a drink problem?

Right that craving for a glass bottle of red seems to have died down.

Hope it all went ok joey, Big,big hugs to ma and baby

Oh bloody hell I'm rubbish at NC- hi to all-soc and isinde and venus and spanna and looking andrural and I'm sorry but just hi to all.

wry you were at the kelpies? Ya eejit,that's a stones throw from where I work. Don't ever come to falkirk/Stirling again without telling me!!!!
Welcome newbies.
baby thank you. Feel a bit better today.
Ds has a stinking cold and dd1 failed her driving test so not a good day for the Dcs but I'm glad this week is over.
mouse good to see you back.

ma you still having that Pity Party, and can anyone come? Do you want me to bring anything - chocolate, Jaffa cakes, icecream?

Sorry babes - day 18 and I've cracked. If I'm honest I knew the moment woke up today that I was going to drink.

I'll come back tomorrow and NC you all - you're all bloody amazing, I feel such a let down

snazzy 18 days is amazing That feeling of 'fuck it' happens to us all. Please do come back as soon as you can.

Who watched the Addicts Symphony? 'Twas AMAZING!!! Have been twaddling on about it on 'tother thread. If anyone fancies a drink tonight WATCH that program on 4 catch up thingy,not likely to feel like a drinky so much then.

Just incredible people,like the babes. We should do some kind of awesome babes event. Dunno what though...

snazzy 18 days is fantastic and you don't wipe them out because you've slipped up.

guggs I hope you're right, I don't want to go back to the days of obsessing about wine, when to drink,what to drink, how much...it was exhausting. Once the dds are back at school I'm going to try and get some af days in. Just one day at a time, I'm not going to aim big or I'll fall at the first hurdle

Hello everyone, away at center parcs with my mum and DC my first time at one of these places. Quite good to see my DD 15 enjoying herself on a bike she is such a Kevin this wouldn't be cool here til Monday, weather quite kack mum booked it all, bless her (but we really do know that we can only do 2 nights and 3 days, then it starts to go Pete Tong, she's booked for 3 nites and 4 days!!!)

Ps it's hard work posting from a phone fuck this xxxxxxxxx

Hey alias come on in!
snazzy don't worry. It happens and 18 days is brilliant.

Seems like a lot of us are Scottish. ma, wry, babyj, venus I'm from Aberdeen, my cousin lives in Falkirk (she's not a Babe though, as far as I know)

Is it in the genes? God I'm miserable tonight.

Just very quickly, I'm going to set up a Blog and I will let those of you who want to know about it where you can find it. I may even use the facilities here to create Blogs :)

For now, I have a lot to deal with in my personal life, not in a bad way, just busy I guess. Roll on Tuesday!

Night Babes xxx

I am Scottish too! Fifer here. Maybe it is in the genes.

I'll have you know I'm not remotely Scottish! Just live here.
English born to Irish parents. Dcs were born here so I suppose they can claim to be Scottish.
Where in Fife whitebag
No plans for today other than the usual day to day crap.

ma sorry! That's the funny thing about the internet, jumping to conclusions about people just from what they've written.

Maybe I'm a 17 year old boy with a fetish for hanging out with middle-aged ladies. Maybe I'm a Klingon. Maybe I'm a poodle. Maybe I'm not even real (ponders own existence. Possibly too early in the morning for this kind of introspection)

PS. Am none of the above, honest.

Venus is a hairy arsed trucker and indie is a rabbit murderer.
I know. I have met them both.
I cba even getting out of bed today but the joys of looking after dad and doing the shopping await....

Lol! I had my suspicions joey

Middle aged ladies? Why I'll have you know I am a lithe and nubile 17 yr old blonde goddess. I have a teeny,tiny bottom like a peach and um...erm..Oh yes,I'm ever so tall

Nah,middle aged alkie. Face like a bus,bottom the size of brazil.

I now have to go to sleep with visions of demented checking out venus' hairy arse.

no wonder I have nightmares.

Because how do you know it's hairy if you haven't looked?

Blooming heck I hope I'm far away enough to be safe.

Bet venus doen't have a hairy bum at all. I always imagine her as being all glam and stylish.

It was that ma who started it!

Venus told me, so there. She also has loads of tattoos and erm, piercings and other macho stuff .
I am slim, rich and gorgeous and live in a huge house and have a cleaner and holidays abroad and everything.

Hey Ma. I live in St Andrews.

Hi all..... day 8. Bruises are fading but not the willpower yet!

Nice little white. Love walking along the West Sands.
Eccles bloody well done. Chuck some of that will power my way will you. Have lapsed a but although did 3 AF days this week which is a big improvement .
I have dragged myself out for a wee jog and will be heading back tomorrow to strip all the lovely brambles I spotted. Can't possibly be a year since Ds and I were out brambling last year and made yummy blackberry vodka! Well, I made it. He just liked plopping in the berries.
