Brave Babes Battle Bus is Racing Along.....

Our lovely mouseface usually starts these threads but I've just noticed that the previous one is almost full, so I'm facing technology and get the next one set up.

Anyone, absolutely anyone, who feels they have a problem with drink is welcome here. Whether you're trying to stop, or cut down a little, whether you've been sober for years, or even if you're too scared even to contemplate what is happening. If you think it will help you to post, or lurk, then please do.

There's often a lot of nonsense and banter, but lots of good sound advice.

And there is always lots of support and care and no judgement.

Just a bit close to home....but I'm
Watching it and it breaking my heart.

Me too will. Sorry god it's horrible... That Joe guy really is breaking my heart... Actually the whole thing is breaking my heart. Sorry I shouldn't have mentioned it

No, it's fine....I had seen it advertised anyway :)

Oh my god, that Gary bloke is such a complete and utter prick

Oralies 'boyfriend' is such a twat

Ditto....he's a twat!!!

I feel so sorry for her!

Yeah, I just want to give her a big hug

Cross posted with all of you... Anyone else think that joe is actually quite hot?? Sorry shouldn't try and make light of the situation.

Oh dear lord, the guy on right now... Cirrhosis that belly is horrific...

Is Joe the young guy? Yes quite hot! And so very sad....and i relate to so much of what he says. Isn't alcohol the cruelist meanest witch

What is that they are draining?

This guy with the belly is totally kidding himself!

The things we do to ourselves

Yeah the young quite posh boy... Haha, same age as me, so hardly a boy. Tummy draining man needs to seriously have a think... Easier said than done. Oh god, joe is back...

'It just feels easier'... Oh god he has left...

Yay!! He's back

God he is breaking my heart.

will nearly just posted the same comment! claret I agree. I am so glad he is ok...

The bit where he came back with the bottle of pellegrino was also so so so soul destroying.

Hope we are all ok? It was a bit harrowing. I have had two glasses of wine, and I am going to have some water and go to bed in a minute...

Good night lala

Struggling struggling struggling. Sorry for being so negative.

Fucking harumph

tang are you drinking? Or just struggling to not drink?

I've never wanted to get through a glass of wine so much....definitely lost its appeal watching that.

I've never witnessed alcoholism first hand (although it is in my family) so programmes like this always open my eyes and give me a lot to think about.

That poor Joe, so 'normal' but so so afflicted.

I hope everyone is ok. Big hugs. i'm so pleased we have this bus.

Having a glass of water then off to bed. Night babes.

Night claret

will night night

claret hard to watch wasn't it? Just felt so bad for joe, that he had got to the point where no-one cared enough to visit him...

Going to finish my relatively chaste glass of wine, take the puppy out and go to sleep, counting my blessings. I don't want to end up like any of them, so tomorrow is another day, and I hope I can do AF this week.

Hugs to tang
