Hello, I'm Mouse Smile

This is the brave babes bus, Gerald. He travels far and wide, to wherever he's needed to offer non judgemental support, advice and Opal Fruits!!

We can tell you about the kind of places that can help, your GP can be the first and easiest place to start, or you can look up you local community addiction centre, or even just come onto the thread and let it all out.

There are posters here who have been on the Bus from the start and those who have just joined us Smile

It doesn't matter how long you've been here, the fact that you have taken that first amazing step in acknowledging that maybe, just maybe, things aren't quite right with your drinking is truly MASSIVE!!

This is a safe place for you to just be and to be as honest as you like, or just to talk.

We'll listen Smile

And if you'd like to see our last thread, you can JUST HERE

Plus if you'd like to see where these threads all began, you can read all about that YOU CAN READ THIS VERY EMOTIONAL AND MOVING THREAD

See you soon,

Mouse xxx Smile

Fox nearly a grand that is amazing wow Shock Just keep peeling Babe (so glad you liked my analogy) You are doing really well 3 months is so so good Grin

dementedma · 31/03/2015 22:06

Got to love you guys! Grin
Am going to bed now. This will be his cue to immediately come with me as he seems to be unable to do anything for himself other than overheat the house. I am sick of living with him.
It's like living with a giant pathetic toddler

spanna41 · 01/04/2015 07:43

Morning All Smile

Day 2 and I will not be drinking today. I woke up at stupid o'clock, confused the dog by taking her for a walk. The sun is shining here and I've got so much to do around the flat. One job at a time, one job at a time, t'will be my mantra today Smile

Have a good day lovely ladies Flowers

SmallFox · 01/04/2015 07:48

Spanna you sound proper boingy today - go for it and hope you get loads done (and that the dog gets a rest). Here's to a sunny AF day.

Rubyredlips · 01/04/2015 08:07

Morning all.

Hope are you ok?

Spanna hello lovely so nice to 'see' you again.

Can't nc all because I've got to go to work but I am trying to keep up with the bus .

To whoever mentioned a possible link between hormones/alcohol (Spanna?), PMT def leads me to getting v drunk in a 'fxxx you' type manner.

Right I'm off, see you all later

Rubyredlips · 01/04/2015 08:09

Ma sorry to hear about dd, hope she's ok. She is beautiful.

SweetLathyrus · 01/04/2015 08:43

Morning all.

I'm off in to the garden. Have a good day all.

spanna41 · 01/04/2015 10:12

Fox it's a pretend boing (trying to motivate myself and after all that I put my head down again and woke up about 10 minutes ago) Shock How are you today Fox?

Sweet it's days like today that I wish that I had a garden Smile anyway I have enough to do indoors, let alone outside in a garden. Enjoy Babe.

Ruby I hope you have a good day at work lovely x

I love this bus and all that ride in him Grin

OhTheHugeManatee · 01/04/2015 11:26

Can I hop on your bus?
This isn't the first time I've read this thread, but this time I'm biting the bullet and posting.
This has to stop.
I am not going to have a drink today.

SweetLathyrus · 01/04/2015 11:31

Spanna, when I'm in the garden, I can't see what needs doing in the house Grin.

Small, I think that feeling was why I picked up a glass. Let me tell you. It was not worth it. I really wish I was with you on day 91, in stead, I'm 8 +74. Stick with it darling.

Ruby, hello, have a good one.

Pup is snoozing next to Pup, so I am rewatching GoT so I can tell DH whose who when the new season starts! Lawn has been cut, three lots of seedlings potted on, two loads of washing done and yesterday's ironing put away. Actually, that's not a bad mornings work is it?

SweetLathyrus · 01/04/2015 11:39

X-posted. Manatee, you are most welcome. If you've read before, you'll know that here on board Gerald the bus you will get support, sympathy, the occasion sllap with a wet squid, all the opal fruits (none of this modern starburst nonsense), but never judgement. When you feel ready, tell us a bit about yourself.

NoAprilFool · 01/04/2015 11:54

Thanks sweet.

A fresh start needs a new name I think.

Fairenuff · 01/04/2015 12:19

Like the name April. Welcome (officially) to the bus.

Spannnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Big bosies to all. See you on the new thread.
