The Brave Babes Battle Bus - Getting Ready For The Golden Sights Of Autumn In Search Of Sobriety.

[Mouseface]

Hello everyone, I'm Mouse :) and this is the Bus I've been on a while now!

It's filled with a variety of drinkers. Those that do, those that don't, and those who are desperate to STOP but hide it, or embrace it and get the help they NEED.

'Help' in whatever form works for them, your friend or you. Be it AA, a Local Community Alcohol Counselling Group, your GP, your family/friends, this thread or even a combination of all of the above!

You have to want to stop drinking more than wanting to breathe.

I know that right now, that may sound like a ridiculous goal.

They got sober, One Day At A Time then came here during the process to chat about it, discuss their feelings, but more than anything else, their experiences HELPED OTHERS TO BELIEVE that they too could get dry.

They might not get dry and stay dry, sometimes they'll be lying about their consumption, fooling themselves as well as others

BUT when the posters do get dry for good, come back and post to help others with their tricks of the trade or just to say 'I did it!!' my heart jumps for joy because that person, poster, Brave Babe has gone through hell and back, lived to tell the tale and now wants to share that with the rest of the Bus to see if one simple trick or technique will put them on the track to recovery, sobriety, to the life that they want to lead :)

There's two saying that have appeared to stick with us -

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

We all have our own reasons for starting to drink 'too much', we all have an excuse don't we.... we all have a "but....."

Well, as I say to Nemo (who you will get to hear about ) - goats butt!

And for those of you who want to know a bit more -

HERE IS THE MOST RECENT THREAD

AND THIS IS WHERE IT ALL BEGAN, OVER FOUR YEARS AGO!!!

See you soon x

Any news ma ?

Oooops! Posted on the new thread. Copy and paste below

Hello babes!

Hope you are all well.

Not having a great day. DC has not stopped whining and whinging all bloody day. If I had wine in the house I think I would have cracked.

flowers to Guggs I hope things get better. Ad's worth considering if there are more down days than up.x

Ma and Mouse, Have you had your lumps and bumps checked yet? Fingers crossed they are nothing to worry about.

Off to curl up under the duvet and watch shite tv grin

baby look who also has a very short fringe!

Beyoncé does Noddy!

I wonder if something odd happened this evening. I couldn't find this thread (or the next new thread) on either my laptop or my phone...... weird .......

wry what would that look like as it was growing out????

hope this is for you, the gorgeously grubby fingernailed and mutton chopped Guy Martin. I'd have to Jif his hands before he got anywhere near me nethers but still....

I bet she paid a fortune for it an' all, venus! It won't grow out bonny, no.

My dad used to do that for nowt when I was a bairn. I still hide my primary school photos. I have a cocky smile on in most of them but inside I'm crying.

I'm getting ready for the arse-speak that is the Apprentice

Cue lots of shouting at the telly - best fun I've had all week x

Oooooooooooooh thanks for that venus I thought it was on tomorrow night!

Best get a cuppie on the go for I shall be glued. Glued I tell ye.

wry how do you get a picture to appear? I can only get the link to appear. Do you have to download it? I am trying to get a picture of Lord Sugar - should be enough to send all babes safely to bed...

Oh God, why are they doing 'boys' versus 'girls' (again)? I so hate, hate, hate that concept.... The BBC should be above this.

I'm sure there is an easier way, venus, but I save the image to my pictures then do the browse thing til I find it, then double click.

Marvellous techy description eh? I did it by marvellous accident one day and wrote it down

No spoilers please, I'm recording it to watch with dd tomorrow. But there is a thread here for all that 'prentice chat

And Beyonce is so wearing a wig.

like this....?

Ohh faire I think you've just been sacked

Not a peep. Promise.

And I meant Dave, not Noddy. Noddy's was curly. Sake.

That's the ticket, venus!

I

Think

I'll

See

You

All
