The Brave Babes Battle Bus - Springing Into Some Warmer Weather, Staying Sober Togeher

Hi, tis me, Mouse

Welcome to the Bus. We're delighted to have you here :) Not because if you're new to the Babes you are here for help, but because we welcome every kind of drinker. And for all of the reasons life throws at you.

Those that do drink, those that don't drink and of course those who do but don't want to say just how much..............

We've all had our own personal Groundhog Day , some still are and don't want to remain trapped in the same cycle day in, day out, and some still are and want to be which is fine and why we're here.

To talk, to listen, to just be us, like you are YOU. You never know, one day you might just want to wake up on a different day? :) There's no judging here, no 'sides.

After all, something made you click on and read this :)

Come say hi! We even do Brew & Cake if you're super quick!!

And if you want to see what we got up to in the last thread, have a look RIGHT HERE

And this is where our adventure began, almost six years ago now!!

ALMOST SIX YEARS AGO...........

Yep, they were still married. Although dad had moved out way before he died. I have a younger sister, who is fucking up her life way beyond belief. I thought I was bad, but my sister is totally screwed. She hasn't worked for three years, she has been in and out of rehab for those three years, and tonight excelled herself by getting picked up off the street by the police, as she was so drunk she couldn't stand...

Disclosed way too much info there, but hey.

laladidah · 17/04/2016 22:49

Oh but apparently, according to my mother, her situation is somehow my fault?!! Anyway, I am drinking now, so should probably pop off somewhere else as you lot are doing so well....

Sorry Sad

Elba84 · 17/04/2016 22:54

Sorry I keep posting before I catch up on what you've posted. All just sounds overwhelming. Don't go anywhere (I'm drinking too) if it helps just post. You can always get posts deleted I think in the morning.

Elba84 · 17/04/2016 22:56

And not its not your fault, and I think you know that. But right now your just punishing yourself. Is there anyone at all you can call, or anything you can do, apart from drink that might help? I've been known to drunk dial the Samaritans before when I've felt like shit xxx

Elba84 · 17/04/2016 22:58

By the way I meant get posts deleted if you've given away too much info, not because your drinking

laladidah · 17/04/2016 23:02

Thanks elba. I don't mean to hijack the thread... Sorry all£

Just fecking fed up of it all right now...

soberisthenewblack168 · 17/04/2016 23:08

la that sounds really toughSad
You are getting great advice from Elba can't really add anything more helpful sorry

Elba84 · 17/04/2016 23:15

lala I've given myself midnight as a deadline to stop drinking and get into bed...can you do the same? Also, and not to minimise things just to distract you for tonight, can you watch YouTube links on here? If so I will post some fab ones I found at 3am last night when I couldn't sleep. What time is work tomorrow? X

laladidah · 17/04/2016 23:34

Thanks sober I am an idiot I know. And elba yes please. Have to wake up at 6am for work Sad feeling quite crap and fragile, and just ordered a bloody crate load of stuff off amaZon for the puppy.... I mean, seriously, why does she need a floral collar?! Anyway, hey ho.

Right elba I am looking forward to these you tube things. Getting a glass of water. Although we still have twenty mins right?

laladidah · 17/04/2016 23:38

I just ordered my puppy some sort of tacky pink glittery paw print dog tag to be engraved... Argggghhhh! (Secretly I like it).

laladidah · 17/04/2016 23:50

I need some more! elba you are a star! Going to get some water and settle down to sleep in a sec.

Elba84 · 17/04/2016 23:52

Can't find my favourite but searching...I have a stupidly immature sense of humour though so it may not appeal!

laladidah · 17/04/2016 23:58

Totally made me laugh! I was trying to link something from my you tube app, but turns out I am crap at technology and can't do it.... Any ideas how?!

Elba84 · 17/04/2016 23:59

Took me ages to work out but there's a symbol at the bottom right, tap on that then double tap where you want to paste (that's on iPad)

laladidah · 18/04/2016 00:02

Just giggled my head off at the last one... Going to try this link... on the old iPhone...

laladidah · 18/04/2016 00:08

Sorry, that was a crap link to a not very amusing thing. Off to sleep now, less than 6 hours sleep, oh goody. Thanks elba for the giggles, hope you are burrowing down now as well xx

Elba84 · 18/04/2016 00:10

It worked, love father ted! I'm finishing my wine and going to make my myself go to bed in a minute. Hope your feeling a bit better and tomorrow morning isn't too bad xxx

laladidah · 18/04/2016 00:14

Thanks lovely. I am cleaning my teeth now, getting a shed load of water ready, tomorrow morning is not going to be fun! I am fighting sleep, why???? Gotta love father ted!

Elba84 · 18/04/2016 00:19

I always fight sleep, even after 24 hours awake I will fight sleep, but then I never want to bloody wake up either!
