The thread for people who want to kick the booze

once we quit on the same day

Hey Boodles great to see you I love your list of positives. No more time lost has to be the best of all to me. When I first quit I went through a phase of real anger about all the occasions, days, that I had 'lost' to alcohol. I'm at peace with it now tho; looking forward to a bright, present future

Present future!! Haha, you know what I meant

Pizza and film time

Hahaha fuzzy That made me laugh out loud. That's another to add to the positives actually, real belly shaking laughs sober! I know what you mean about the anger I swing between anger and shame some days but trying not to beat myself up about it too much.what are your plans for the weekend fuzzy quizzing it?

Ooh once you've just reminded me I've got prison break to watch, I only started it other night so I'm only a few episodes in. Liking it though, what film are you watching? I watched southpaw the other night, excellent film although I cried all the wat through!

I've never reported so many posts on one thread. More troll hunting and personal attacks. Horrible.

I wouldn't even know how to report a post or what I would even say. I never told any lies and don't believe myself to be the false one. Infact quite the opposite. It's been my honesty that's caused such an uproar. And who watches a non abstinence page while joining in an abstince page? That's like purposely choosing an AA meeting near a pun so you can watch the people drinking while you talk about how sober you are!

Definitely no beating yourself up Boodles - it's self care & respect we need to be working on not self flagellation! No quizzing this weekend - just aiming for a couple of days in the sun, bit of gardening & some long walks with the dog . Yoga time now, then a spot of Netflix; something cheery I think!

Enjoy your pizza Once. I'm stuffed with curry - hope there are not too many downward dogs in tonight's yoga vid

I'm watching the first series of "The Tunnel" on Sky Atlantic. It's very good

Please dont contradict yourself - Who posts on a non abstinence page and then posts on an abstinence page!! pot calling kettle black I think!! We aren't angry or miffed at your honesty is the lies your telling!! I hate liars! I will lurk and not post now and don't make out I've made you look like a bitch - the thread is called DRY and you're still drinking! Sorry if you don't like what I say but it is the truth and truth hurts sometimes.
Goodnight am sick of this now.

Rose don't stay away if you need the thread - I am here tonight as are many others. Take what you need from us, and leave the rest.

Haven't heard of that one hurricane, it took me about a day to choose prison break. Wentworth miller did help in the decision I must admit lol.
Enjoy your yoga fuzzy and your pizza once
vxa matron slim howbad lucy jojo rose and anyone else I've missed (sorry i thought my memory was bad because I was drinking but it turns out it's just shit!) please come back

I'm still here. Watching skyfall and closing my eyes at the gory bits.

I am fascinated to understand what on earth Halle is hoping to achieve and even more fascinated by Marry's frankly disturbing over investment in someone she has never met!

Suggest we all ignore and talk over the weird elephant in the room!!

Just watched the master chef final and so pleased with the result!!

Boodles, Slim & Fuzzy thank you ladies head is thumping and I'm sorry but I had to say something! Of course I need this thread this is where it all started for me and as with all of you we have our good days and the bad, let's be here for each other xx [love]

Haven't seen that yet either slim I could never watch a film as I was always too distracted by drinking. I'm enjoying that perk of being sober too!

How interesting, Loubilou9 that you reframe my standing up for someone vulnerable who is being bullied, as "over investment".

So sorry as well lily you give some great advise I bet your fab at your job.

another bonus of being sober is that when DH says things like; 'Who's that' I can reply 'Ralph Fiennes'
'What's he been in? '
'The Constant Gardener'
'Who's that guy?'
'Javier Bardem'
'What;s he been in'
'Oh for fuck's sake, wiki it yourself'!

Marital harmony. Bliss.

126 days - feeling proud however I know I'm still walking on a tightrope.. SUCH a triggery day for me today, I had good news from work, the sun is out and temptation high.. however I had a nice dinner and am chilling out with my young family - not drinking makes me so grateful for what I have (when drinking I am blinded and usually think about what I don't have).

slimcheezy that drink sounds amazing, I love ginger and tabasco

The thread will calm down - hang on in there

Stop being so melodramatic Rose ffs! No lies were told. Just because I posted in both DOESNT mean I told any lies what so ever. You're definitely looking for the whole "awww please don't leave rose, we love you tose please stay" attention now. It's been my honesty plain and simple. I was posting on both threads unsure which way to go, so what?? Get over it. Im sure you have been through worse than this!

Slim caught up with Teapot and she's going to pop her head in soon she's just been really busy :)
