Cold turkey- help me when I'm tempted

I'm about to go cold turkey from cocaine.
It's time to! Definitely
My weak points are when I'm tempted to buy some (usually evenings)

Can I message on here when I'm tempted for a pep talk on why I shouldn't & reassurance that it's ok?
I think it would really help me

Do you reckon we can do this?

Hope everyone's alright. Cleaning hope your day improved? And serialI have Brew + lemsip for you, hope your cold's a bit better.

I must admit reading flat's post about hating herself on coke, I'm thinking Oh dear I do love the feeling of being high, all upbeat, witty and of course being an amazing dancer Hmm I do realise this is a Big Problem.
On a come down I do hate myself; I'm a tired edgy anxious mess.

Cleaning was probably the best thing to decline your party invite. It'll be great when we all feel strong enough to go to parties without worrying about all this crap.

Well the party is being hosted by the biggest coke head I know so common sense prevailed Smile

Why did the sat nav home take me past my dealer's house after the day I've had? Blush

I will not be swayed !!!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 01/02/2017 17:06

What an irresponsible Sat Nav. Bloody hell.

You're obviously one of the cool kids, Cleaning with all these invites for swanky parties. Good move though, it would be hard to ignore the Massive White Elephant in the room at that party. Confused Very wobbly ground.

Have never felt LESS like turkey! Am struggling with blessed fags. Am sipping wine though and throwing really germy luminous rubber rings for people who want to sit on the surfboard of plague. The red cross will repel dealers.

serialtester · 01/02/2017 19:17

Obviously instead of ringing a bell and shouting UNCLEAN I'll be shouting CLEAN!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 01/02/2017 19:24

Oh poor you, serial your cold hasn't affected your sense of humour though. Grin When you go off fags, you know you are ill.
Thanks for the rubber ring, I've given it a wipe over.

Having dark thoughts but just ignoring them at mo. and trying some deep breathing.

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 01/02/2017 19:33

I'm obviously getting a rep on here... granite... swanky parties. Grin

I had a wobble (gobble gobble) today but smoked a fourth fag and got over it Smile

Serial make sure you bring antibac gel on the surfboard ok 😂

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 01/02/2017 19:41

Glad you've stopped the surfboard wobbling. Good news.

Dh has fitted some worktops in his time. He said polished granite is the dog's bollocks Grin He gets really excited about finishes and so on.

serialtester · 01/02/2017 20:51

Thank god you don't need to snort fags or wine. My nostrils are closed for business. If this carries in getting to week 4 will be easy! Hope you're all well and clean and strong. I think I'm delirious, not that I'm a drama queen or anything!!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 01/02/2017 21:12

If you're thinking about the benefits of not having to snort wine, you may be a teeny bit delirious Grin. Get well soon.

Feeling a bit calmer after a ridiculously hot bath. I'm acting as homework advisor tonight, which basically involves nagging the kids to get on with it and suggesting they Google anything difficult.

flatwhite45 · 01/02/2017 21:20

Man overboard here. Sorry guys Sad

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 01/02/2017 21:21

Nooooooooooo

CleaningLikeAMotherFucker · 01/02/2017 21:22

Is it too late to chuck a armband... dinghy.. lifeboat with crew???,

serialtester · 01/02/2017 21:25

Youngest has food tech tomorrow. He told me about it at 7:15 this morning. On my way home from work I hit a very expensive supermarket petrol station shop and bought him the most expensive ingredients known to man. Y8 food tech had better taste fucking good tomorrow, otherwise I'll go into school and show them what their work surfaces are for! No longer blocked up am running like a fucking tap. Have got a mega important meeting tomorrow morning and if this don't stop I'll be sniffling like a turkey head!

serialtester · 01/02/2017 21:26

Flat - you ok? Even if you're overboard the surfboard is always ready. Do what you need to.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 01/02/2017 21:28

flat that could so easily have been me, my brain's been all over the shop today. I was a bit worried you went AWOL from the thread. There's No point in beating yourself up, you're human that's all and this surfing thing is fucking hard. It takes a lot of practice.

Back on the old surfboard tomorrow, let's get some more practice in before the weekend Smile

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 01/02/2017 21:34

Mine do that, serial the surprise last minute food tech list as if anyone has a jar of cinnamon lying about in their cupboard. Confused

flat all is not lost. There are always bumps in the road don't forget.

serialtester · 01/02/2017 21:37

It could be any of us (apart from me with my sealed nostrils) My brain this week hasn't even been in my body. Tomorrow night will be very, very dangerous for me. As will Friday. The surfboard always floats.

serialtester · 01/02/2017 21:39

Lost, I have cinnamon but fucking mozzarella finished me right off.

serialtester · 01/02/2017 21:40

Have just taken 2 soluble codeine. For my throat. Honest!!

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 01/02/2017 21:43

Mozzarella? That's absurd.

the surfboard always floats is profound. You are wise like Yoda.

serialtester · 01/02/2017 21:55

I think due to my wine habit I'm a similar colour to yoda. Green I am!

serialtester · 01/02/2017 21:56

Sniffle I do. When the cold is upon me.

serialtester · 01/02/2017 21:57

Mozzarella I hate. Turkey I love.

serialtester · 01/02/2017 21:58

Sorry, will stop being yoda now!
